Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.37E
Program Plan Intro
- Include the header files and initialize the main() function.
- Declare the function prototype to use the tower of Hanoi
algorithm . - The function towerOfHanoi(int ) is called which accepts only one argument and that is number of disks.
- It prints the result for moving the disk from which peg to which peg.
- Finally prints the result.
Summary Introduction- The program shows how the disks are moved from source peg to destination peg maintaining the criteria of placing the smaller disk on larger disk.
Program Description- The purpose of the program is to implement the tower of Hanoi algorithm in a non-recursive fashion using the voidtowerOfHanoi( int ) function.

(True/False): Given the same task to accomplish, a recursive subroutine usually uses lessmemory than a nonrecursive one.
4. The Area of the Target: To decide on prizes for the archery contest, you decided to use the areas of the center and
rings. You decided that rings with smaller areas should be worth more points. But how much more? Complete the
following investigation to help you decide.
a. Find the sequence of the areas of the rings, including the center. (Be careful.)
b. Write a recursive formula and an explicit formula for this sequence.
C.
Write the explicit formula in summation notation. Find the total area of the bull's eye if it had 9 rings around the
bull's eye.

- Ex. 01 : Recursion About So far, we have learned that we can perform repetitive tasks using loops. However, another way is by creating methods that call themselves. This programming technique is called recursion and, a method that calls itself within it's own body is called a recursive method. One use of recursion is to perform repetitive tasks instead of using loops, since some problems seem to be solved more naturally with recursion than with loops. To solve a problem using recursion, it is broken down into sub-problems. Each sub-problem is similar to the original problem, but smaller in size. You can apply the same approach to each sub-problem to solve it recursively. All recursive methods use conditional tests to either 1. stop or 2. continue the recursion. Each recursive method has the following characteristics: 1. end/terminating case: One or more end cases to stop the recursion. 2. recursive case: reduces the problem in to smaller sub-problems, until it reaches (becomes) the end…arrow_forward(GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR) The greatest common divisor of integers x and y is the largest integer that evenly divides into both x and y. Write and test a recursive function gcd that returns the greatest common divisor of x and y. The gcd of x and y is defined recursively as follows: If y is equal to 0, then gcd (x, y) is x; otherwise, gcd (x, y) is gcd (y, x % y), where % is the remainder operator.arrow_forwardIs the recursive solution to the triangle number the best way to obtain the triangle number? A. Yes, because recursive solutions are always efficient. B. Yes, because the shape of the triangle number diagram lends itself to a recursive solution. C. No, the triangle number can be found in a more efficient manner. D. None of the above are true.arrow_forward
- Using Python Recursion is the concept of a function calling itself until the problem is solved when the Base Case is met. Study Recursion: See slides in Modules, Practice Slides, lab12 and also Recursion is in chapter 9 of the textbook. Some examples of recursion are: compute [ factorial of a number, towers of Hanoi, fractals (as shown in the textbook), and many more]. Example: See slides Page 2 For this assignment we'll use Collatz Cojecture (see Wikipedia). Collatz Conjecture algorithm: Given a number n, first call to the function: f(n): In the function: if n == 1 return 1: if n is even then f(n/2), i.e. call self with the new value. else (n is odd) call self with the new value, f((n*3)+1) and repeat. All numbers eventually end up with 1. The program should test for the base case which is: if n == 1, in which case it returns to the caller with 1.

Question 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.

After writing the steps, trace the function for “recursiveprob(5)” as shown in an example slide number 61.

It is possible to convert every recursive method to an iterative method. d.The method is implemented using an if-else or a switch statement that leads to different cases. e.One or more base cases are used to stop recursion.arrow_forward
- (Recursion and Backtracking) Write the pseudo code for a recursive method called addB2D that takes two binary numbers as strings, adds the numbers and returns the result as a decimal integer. For example, addB2D(‘‘101’’, ‘‘11’’) should return 8 (because the strings are binary representation of 5 and 3, respectively). Your solution should not just simply convert the binary numbers to decimal numbers and add the re- sults. An acceptable solution tries to find the sum by just directly processing the binary representations without at first converting them to decimal values.arrow_forward2.arrow_forwardPlease help me with this one.
