Question

Write a recursive function, numMoves(), that takes a number representing the number of disks in the Hanoi problem, and returns the number of moves involved. I recommend you start writing this function by modifying the hanoi.py program given. Test cases: numMoves(3) should return 7 and numMoves(4) should return 15. Do not use any global variables.

 

hanoi.py

 

 

def moves (n, fromTower, toTower, auxTower):
if n == 0:
return
moves (n-1, fromTower, auxTower, toTower)
print ("Move disk", n, "from", fromTower, "to", toTower)
moves (n-1, auxTower, toTower, fromTower)
moves (3, 'A', 'C', 'B')
