Chapter 5, Problem 30CRP
Design a recursive version of the Euclidean
Question 3 of Section 5.2:
3 The Euclidean algorithm finds the greatest common divisor of two positive integers X and Y by the following process:
As long as the value of neither X nor Y is zero, assign the larger the remainder of dividing the larger by the smaller. The greatest common divisor, if it exists, will be the remaining non-zero value.

CS211
Non-recursive solution for Towers of Hanoi
Using the algorithm discussed in class, write an iterative program
to solve the Towers of Hanoi problem.
The problem:
You are given three towers a, b, and c. We start with n rings on tower a
and we need to transfer them to tower b subject to the following
restrictions:
1. We can only move one ring at a time, and
2. We may never put a larger numbered ring on top of a smaller numbered
one.
There are always 3 towers. Your program will prompt the user for the
number of rings.
Here is the algorithm.
Definition: A ring is "available" if it is on the top of one of the towers.
Definition: The "candidate" is the smallest available ring that has not been moved on the
most recent move. The first candidate is ring 1.
The Algorithm:
1. Find the candidate.
2. Move the candidate (right or left, depending if the number of rings is odd or even) to
the closest tower on which it can be placed. Move "around the circle" if necessary.
3. If not done, go back…
Q4. Recursion Find how many possible combinations that a number can be decomposed into the multiple of integers (smaller than the number itself) by a recursion function.Suppose we have a positive number Y as input, and it need to be decomposed into the multiple of several integers, Yi, where each Yi, is smaller than Y(e.g., Y=Y1∗Y2∗ Y3∗...∗Yn). In addition, these decomposed integers can only be arranged in an ascending order (Y1
Recursion can be direct or indirect. It is direct when a function calls itself and it is indirect recursion when a function calls another function that then calls the first function. To illustrate solving a problem using recursion, consider the Fibonacci series: - 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...The way to solve this problem is to examine the series carefully. The first two numbers are 1. Each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thus, the seventh number is the sum of the sixth and fifth numbers. More generally, the nth number is the sum of n - 2 and n - 1, as long as n > 2.Recursive functions need a stop condition. Something must happen to cause the program to stop recursing, or it will never end. In the Fibonacci series, n < 3 is a stop condition. The algorithm to use is this:
1. Ask the user for a position in the series.2. Call the fib () function with that position, passing in the value the user entered.3. The fib () function examines the argument (n). If n < 3…

- Artificial Intelligence (Part - 2) ==================== The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion incomputer science and searching in artificial intelligence. We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk.
