Question

Transcribed Image Text:Write a recursive function named largestDigit that accepts an integer parameter
and returns the largest digit value that appears in that integer. Your function should
work for both positive and negative numbers. If a number contains only a single digit,
that digit's value is by definition the largest.
You must not use any loops; you also cannot use the string type or any library
functions. Your function must be recursive.
Complete the following file:
largestDigit.cpp
2 // You may use this helper function
3 int max(int a, int b) { return a < b ? b : a; }

if((n<0) && (n/10

0)) return n;

- Write a program named stars.py that has two functions for generating star polygons. 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_forwardWrite a program called p3.py that contains a function called reveal_recursive() that takes a word (string) and the length of the word (int) as input and has the following functionality: 1. prints the word where all characters are replaced by underscores 2. continue to print the word revealing one character at a time. i.e., the second line printed should print the first character followed by “_”’s representing the rest of the word. (see example below) 3. the function should end after printing the entire word once. 4. This function should be recursive Example: #the word is kangaroo ________ k_______ ka______ kan_____ kang____ kanga___ kangar__ kangaro_ kangarooarrow_forwardPlease only do rec_sum_digits function in python using only recursive and no looparrow_forward
- Using recursion, write a function sum that takes a single argument n and computes the sum of all integers between 0 and n inclusive. Do not write this function using a while or for loop. Assume n is non-negative. def sum(n): """Using recursion, computes the sum of all integers between 1 and n, inclusive. Assume n is positive. >>> sum(1) 1 >>> sum(5) # 1 + 2 + 3+ 4+ 5 15 "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"arrow_forwardPython: How do I create a recursive function asterisk with both recursive and base cases? so for n=3, you would have below; *** ** * code that I have: for i in range(n): print("*",end="")arrow_forward-Python- Write a function get_letter_grade, such that when given * a lab grade score and * a list of the grade cutoffsreturns the letter grade of that score.Note: Your function automatically returns A for the values that are >= to the first cutoff-value in the list, then A- for the second cutoff-value, B+ for the third and so on. The function returns None for anything that's below the score for B-. You test that get_letter_grade(97, [93, 90, 87, 83, 80]) correctly returns an A, and get_letter_grade(93, [97, 90, 87, 83, 80]) returns A-. DO NOT hard-code the cutoffs, since they can change! You can copy/paste the following template: def get_letter_grade(score, cutoffs): if score ... : return 'A' ...: return 'A-' ...: return 'B+' ...: return 'B' ...: return 'B-'arrow_forward
- Write code to complete raise_to_power(). Note: This example is for practicing recursion; a non-recursive function, or using the built-in function math.pow(), would be more common.Sample output with inputs: 4 24^2 = 16 def raise_to_power(base_val, exponent_val): if exponent_val == 0: result_val = 1 else: result_val = base_val * ''' Your solution goes here ''' return result_val user_base = int(input())user_exponent = int(input()) print('{}^{} = {}'.format(user_base, user_exponent, raise_to_power(user_base, user_exponent)))arrow_forwardComputer 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.
