Chapter 14, Problem 1PP

The formula for computing the number of ways of choosing r different things from a set of n things is the following:

C(n, r)=n!/(r! *(n−r)!)

The factorial function n! is defined by

n!=n*(n−1)*(n−2)*…*1

Discover a recursive version of this formula and write a recursive function that computes the value of the formula. Embed the function in a program and test it.

Write the definition of a recursive function int simpleSqrt(int n) The function returns the integer square root of n, meaning the biggest integer whose square is less than or equal to n. You may assume that the function is always called with a nonnegative value for n. Use the following algorithm: If n is 0 then return 0. Otherwise, call the function recursively with n-1 as the argument to get a number t. Check whether or not t+1 squared is strictly greater than n. Based on that test, return the correct result. For example, a call to simpleSqrt(8) would recursively call simpleSqrt(7) and get back 2 as the answer. Then we would square (2+1) = 3 to get 9. Since 9 is bigger than 8, we know that 3 is too big, so return 2 in this case. On the other hand a call to simpleSqrt(9) would recursively call simpleSqrt(8) and get back 2 as the answer. Again we would square (2+1) = 3 to get back 9. So 3 is the correct return value in this case.
