Chapter 14.1, Problem 5STE
Program Plan Intro
Recursive function:
- Recursive function is a function that call itself.
- A function definition may have a call to the function being defined. In such cases, the function is known as recursive.

Write a function which takes two integer parameters for values to be added together
and returns the result by value. The function may not print anything or read anything
directly from the user (i.e. no cin/cout in the function). Assume that the values passed
to the function will not be negative, but could be 0 or positive, and will both be integers.
The function must implement addition recursively, and cannot use the standalone +
operator (only ++) or call any other functions.
Write a recursive void function that has one parameter that is a positive integer. When called, the function writes its argument to the screen backward. That is,, if the argument is 1234, it outputs the following to the screen: 4321.
I've literally tried to create this program and I have no idea how to make it work. Please help me. Is it possible to explain line by line what the code does?
Write an iterative version of the function defined in Self-Test Exercise 2.
(Write a recursive void function that has one parameter that is a positive integer and that writes out that number of asterisks (*) to the screen, all on one line.)

- Write a recursive function that takes as a parameter a nonnegative integer and generates the following pattern of stars. If the nonnegative integer is 4, the pattern generated is as follows: **** *** ** * * ** *** **** Also, write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of lines in the pattern and uses the recursive function to generate the pattern. For example, specifying 4 as the number of lines generates the preceding pattern.arrow_forwardQuestion 2: Implementing a Recursive Function .Write recursive function, recursionprob(n), which takes a positive number as its argument and returns the output as shown below. The solution should clearly write the steps as shown in an example in slide number 59 and slide number 60 in lecture slides. After writing the steps, trace the function for “recursiveprob(5)” as shown in an example slide number 61.
