Question
A recursive function in programming is a function that calls itself during its execution. The following two functions are examples of recursive functions:
- def function1(length):
- if length > 0:
- print(length)
- function1(length - 1)
- def function2(length):
- while length > 0:
- print(length)
- function2(length - 1)
What can you say about the output of function1(3) and function2(3)?
- The two functions produce the same output 3 2 1.
- function1 produces the output:
3
2
1
and function2 runs infinitely.
3. function1 produces the output: 3 2 1 and function2 runs infinitely.
4. The two programs produce the same output:
1
2
3

- Matlab Programmingarrow_forwardIn Haskell: Code a function "rangeProduct" that takes two arguments. The function should return 0 if the second argument is smaller than the first, otherwise it should return the product of the range between two numbers, ex: rangeProduct 3 5 --> 60 (because 3*4*5 = 60) What to do for negative numbers to do (if anything) is up to you. Write the program without recursion first and then write it with recursion.arrow_forwardMULTIPLE FUNCTIONS AND RECURSIVE FUNCTIONS HANDS-ON use #include<stdio.h>arrow_forward
- c programming Task 3: Complete armstrong_task3.c by implementing armstrong_recursive function. int armstrong_recursive (int arm); It performs same operation as in Task 1, however in a recursive manner. A number to be checked whether it is armstrong or not is given as an input and the function returns the summation of the digits. If the returned value is equal to the given input value then it is an armstrong number.arrow_forwardObjective: Practice writing recursive functions in python3 Make the five recursive functions described below in python3 by using the starter code recursive_functions.py. For each function, figure out how to solve it conceptually : write down the base case (when recursion stops) and how each recursive function-call moves towards the base case. The functions should not print anything (except you may add temporary print statements to help debug them). You can test your program by using the provided program test_recursive_functions.py. Don't edit the test program. Put it into the same directory (folder) with your recursive_functions.py and run it. It will import your functions as a module, test your functions, and tell you when each function is returning correct results. 1. Factorial In math, if you have a number n, the factorial function (written n!) computes n x (n-1) x (n-2) x (n-3) x ... x 1. For example: 0! is defined to be 1 1! = 1 2! = 2 x 1=2 3! = 3 x 2 x 1=6 4! = 4 x 3…arrow_forward
