Question
Drawing a right side up triangle
Write a recursive function called DrawTriangle() that outputs lines of '*' to form a right side up isosceles triangle. Function DrawTriangle() has one parameter, an integer representing the base length of the triangle. Assume the base length is always odd and less than 20. Output 9 spaces before the first '*' on the first line for correct formatting.
Hint: The number of '*' increases by 2 for every line drawn.
Ex: If the input of the program is:
3the function DrawTriangle() outputs:
* ***Ex: If the input of the program is:
19the function DrawTriangle() outputs:
* *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** ***************** *******************Note: No space is output before the first '*' on the last line when the base length is 19. in c++

- python3 Write a recursive function called is_palindrome(string) that takes a string parameter and checks if it is a palindrome ignoring the spaces, if any, and returns True/False.

The pseudocode is: # Base case: if b is 1, you can just return a + 1 # General case: otherwise, return the sum of 1 and what is returned by adding a and b - 1.arrow_forward
- Computer scientists and mathematicians often use numbering systems other than base 10. Write a program that allows a user to enter a number and a base and then prints out the digits of the number in the new base. Use a recursive function baseConversion (num, base) to print the digits. Hint: Consider base 10. To get the rightmost digit of a base 10 number, simply look at the remainder after dividing by 10. For example, 153 % 10 is 3. To get the remaining digits, you repeat the process on 15, which is just 153 // 10. This same process works for any base. The only problem is that we get the digits in reverse order (right to left). The base case for the recursion occurs when num is less than base and the output is simply num. In the general case, the function (recursively) prints the digits of num // base and then prints num % base. You should put a space between successive outputs, since bases greater than 10 will print out with multi-character "digits." For example, baseConversion(1234,…arrow_forwardNeed help Writing a function, countVowels, that accepts a string as an argument. countVowels should return the number of vowels in that string.

If the nonnegative integer is 4, the pattern generated is as follows: **** *** ** * * ** *** **** Also, write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of lines in the pattern and uses the recursive function to generate the pattern. For example, specifying 4 as the number of lines generates the preceding pattern.arrow_forward
