Question
For function log, write the missing base case condition and the recursive call. This function computes the log of n to the base b. As an example: log 8 to the base 2 equals 3 since 8 = 2*2*2. We can find this by dividing 8 by 2 until we reach 1, and we count the number of divisions we make. You should assume that n is exactly b to some integer power.
Examples: log(2, 4) -> 2 and log(10, 100) -> 2
public int log(int b, int n ) {
if <<Missing base case condition>> {
return 0;
} else {
return <<Missing a Recursive case action>>
}
}

- In Kotlin, Write and test a recursive function called harm with an expression body that takes an Int argument n and calculates the sum of 1/1 ... 1/n.

- In kotlin, Write a recursive linear search function that takes a String and a Char and returns true if the String contains the Char. The base cases are that a) the length of the String is 0 or b) the first character in the String is the character we are searching for. then Modify the linear search function so that both the String and the Char are nullable. If either is null, return false.arrow_forwardCan you please help me solve problem 2?arrow_forwardWhich is the base case of the following recursion function: def mult3(n): if n == 1: return 3 else: return mult3(n-1) + 3 else n == 1 mult3(n) return mult3(n-1) + 3arrow_forward

For example, if A is [1,2,3,6,7,2,3,4] then before(3,A) will return [1,2,3,6,7,2]. If k does not occur in A, the function should return None.arrow_forwardConsider a recursive function, called f, that computes powers of 3 using only the + operator.

Inside the function, compute recursively (no loops) the count of the occurrences of 8 as a digit inside the parameter n. Except that an 8 with another 8 immediately to its left counts double, so 8818 yields 4. Note that mod (%) by 10 yields the rightmost digit (126 % 10 is 6), while divide (/) by 10 removes the rightmost digit (126 / 10 is 12). Here are some examples: countEights(8) returns 1 countEights(818 returns 2 countEights(8818) returns 4arrow_forward
