Question
please code in python
Write a recursive function to add a positive integer b to another number a, add(a, b), where
only the unit 1 can be added, For example add(5, 9) will return 14. 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.

One function should be implemented using an iteration (a for loop), and another function should be a recursion. It is optional to fill in your shapes. The functions for generating stars should be named star (size, n, d=2) and star_recursive (size, n, level, d=2), where size is the size of the polygon side (edge), n is the number of sides (or angles), d is a density or winding number that should be set to default value 2, and level is the level of recursion initially equal to n.arrow_forward

- Consider a network of streets laid out in a rectangular grid, In a northeast path from one point in the grid to another, one may walk only to the north (up) and to the east (right). Write a program that must use a recursive function to count the number of northeast paths from one point to another in a rectangular grid. Your program should prompt the user to input the numbers of points to the north and to east respectively, and then output the total number of paths. Notes: 1. Here is a file (timer.h download and timer.cpp download) which should be included in your program to measure time in Window or Unix (includes Mac OS and Linux) systems (use start() for the beginning of the algorithm, stop() for the ending, and show() for printing). 2. The computing times of this algorithm is very high, and the number of paths may be overflow, don't try input numbers even over 16. 3. Name your recursive function prototype as calcPath(int north, int east) to ease grading. 4.
