(Towers of Hanoi: Iterative Solution) Any program that can be implemented recursivelycan be implemented iteratively, although sometimes with considerably more difficulty and considerably less clarity. Try writing an iterative version of the Towers of Hanoi. If you succeed, compareyour iterative version with the recursive version you developed in Exercise 5.36. Investigate issuesof performance, clarity, and your ability to demonstrate the correctness of the programs.

(GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR) The greatest common divisor of integers x and y is the largest integer that evenly divides into both x and y. Write and test a recursive function gcd that returns the greatest common divisor of x and y. The gcd of x and y is defined recursively as follows: If y is equal to 0, then gcd (x, y) is x; otherwise, gcd (x, y) is gcd (y, x % y), where % is the remainder operator.
4. The Area of the Target: To decide on prizes for the archery contest, you decided to use the areas of the center and rings. You decided that rings with smaller areas should be worth more points. But how much more? Complete the following investigation to help you decide. a. Find the sequence of the areas of the rings, including the center. (Be careful.) b. Write a recursive formula and an explicit formula for this sequence. C. Write the explicit formula in summation notation. Find the total area of the bull's eye if it had 9 rings around the bull's eye.
(True/False): Given the same task to accomplish, a recursive subroutine usually uses lessmemory than a nonrecursive one.
(Recursive Sequential Search) The sequential search algorithm given in nonrecursive. Write and implement a recursive version of the sequential search algorithm.
(Recursion and Backtracking) Write the pseudo code for a recursive method called addB2D that takes two binary numbers as strings, adds the numbers and returns the result as a decimal integer. For example, addB2D(‘‘101’’, ‘‘11’’) should return 8 (because the strings are binary representation of 5 and 3, respectively). Your solution should not just simply convert the binary numbers to decimal numbers and add the re- sults. An acceptable solution tries to find the sum by just directly processing the binary representations without at first converting them to decimal values.
(Compute greatest common divisor using recursion) The gcd(m, n) can also be defined recursively as follows: If m % n is 0, gcd (m, n) is n. Otherwise, gcd(m, n) is gcd(n, m % n). Write a recursive function to find the GCD. Write a test program that prompts the user to enter two integers and displays their GCD.
(Recursive Binary Search) The binary search algorithm given in this chapter is nonrecursive. Write and implement a recursive version of the binary search algorithm.
Given the function, answer the following questions: What is the depth of recursion for recFunction(7)? What does the program print for the function call recFunction(12)?
(Recursive Exponentiation) Write a recursive function power(base, exponent) that wheninvoked returnsbaseexponentFor example, power(3, 4) = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3. Assume that exponent is an integer greater than or equalto 1. Hint: The recursion step would use the relationshipbaseexponent = base * baseexponent–1and the terminating condition occurs when exponent is equal to 1 becausebase1 = base
(Will report abuse if you just copy the previous answer) Write a tail recursive procedure in Scheme for the bang-bang operator: n!! Here 1!! is 1, 2!! = 2, and if n>2, n!!=(n−2)!!×n. Put this in the file bang-bang.scm.
(Recursive Binary Search) Write a recursive method RecursiveBinarySearch to perform abinary search of the array. The method should receive the search key, starting index, endingindex and array A as arguments. If the search key is found, return its index in the array. If thesearch key is not found, return -1.int RecursiveBinarySearch(int search, int start, int end, int[] A)
2, Towers of Hanoi Problem. (10 points) The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion in computer science and searching in artificial intelligence. We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. Answer the following questions. (1) Determine a state representation for this problem. (4points) (2) What is the size of the state space? (3 points) (3) Supposing K=3, N=4, what is the start state by using your proposed state representation method and what is the goal state? (3 points)
