Recursive function definition for “squares” function:

The recursive function definition for “squares” function is shown below:

//Function definition for "squares" function

int squares(int n)

{

      /* If "n" is less than or equal to "1" */

      if (n <= 1)

            //Returns "1"

            return 1;

      //Otherwise

      else

     /* Recursively call the "squares" function with subtracting the value of "n" by "1" and then add and multiplied by "n" */

            return (squares(n-1) + n * n);

}

Explanation:

The above function is used to compute the sum of the squares of numbers from “1” to “n”.

  • In this function, first check the value of “n”. If the value of “n” is less than or equal to “1”, then returns “1”.
  • Otherwise, recursively call the “squares” function with subtracting the value of “n” by “1” and then add and multiplied by “n”...

Exponent y Catherine Arellano mplement a recursive function that returns he exponent given the base and the result. for example, if the base is 2 and the result is 3, then the output should be 3 because the exponent needed for 2 to become 8 is 3 (i.e. 23 = 8) nstructions: 1. In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for two integer inputs: 1. The first integer is the base 2. The second integer is the result 2. Furthermore, you are provided with the getExponent() function. The details of this function are the following: 1. Return type - int 2. Name - getExponent 3. Parameters 1. int - base 2. int - result 4. Description - this recursive function returns the exponent 5. Your task is to add the base case and the general case so it will work Score: 0/5 Overview 1080 main.c exponent.h 1 #include 2 #include "exponent.h" 3 int main(void) { 4 int base, result; 5 6 printf("Enter the base: "); scanf("%d", &base); 7 8 9 printf("Enter the result: ");…
Write a recursive function that displays the number of even and odd digits in an integer using the following header: void evenAndOddCount(int value) Write a test program that prompts the user to enter an integer and displays the number of even and odd digits in it.
Problem Statement for Recursive Sum of Numbers Program Here is a simple recursive problem: Design a function that accepts a positive integer >= 1 and returns the sum of all the integers from 1 up to the number passed as an argument. For example, if 10 is passed as an argument, the function will return 55. Use recursion to calculate the sum. Write a second function which asks the user for the integer and displays the result of calling the function. Part 1. Understand the Problem To design a recursive function, you need to determine at least one base case (the base case returns a solution) and a general case (the general case calls the function again but passes a smaller version of the data as a parameter). To make this problem recursive think about it like this: If the integer is 1, the function will return 1. If the integer is 2, the function will return 1 + 2 = 3. If the integer is 3, the function will return 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. . . . For this problem, we will be sending in the "last"…
