Question

How to write a function (count) to perform the following task.

  • Generate a counter (let's say 20,000) using the function. The function should have one integer argument (in this example, 20,000).
  • Calculate the execution time of code by using the time command and redirect the output to the counter_fun.txt file.
  • Append the counter in an already created text file (counter_fun.txt).

How to write a function that uses recursion to generate the same counter and that performs the following tasks.

  • Use the same function (count), but will repeatedly call the same function (recursion) to generate the counter.
  • Calculate the execution time of code by using the time command and redirect the output to the counter_rec.txt file.
  • Append the counter in an already created text file (counter_rec.txt).

If we compare both the time, which code (function or recursion) runs efficiently and why.
