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

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.

- (Numerical) Write a program that tests the effectiveness of the rand() library function. Start by initializing 10 counters to 0, and then generate a large number of pseudorandom integers between 0 and 9. Each time a 0 occurs, increment the variable you have designated as the zero counter; when a 1 occurs, increment the counter variable that’s keeping count of the 1s that occur; and so on. Finally, display the number of 0s, 1s, 2s, and so on that occurred and the percentage of the time they occurred.arrow_forwardCodeW For fun X C Solved https://codeworkou... 臺亂 CodeWorkout X272: Recursion Programming Exercise: Is Reverse For function isReverse, write the two missing base case conditions.
