Program Plan Intro
Recursive Printing
- • Define the “main()” function:
- ○ Get the input from user and store it to the variable “num”.
- ○ Call the function “printNumbers()” with the argument of “num” value.
- • Define the “printNumbers(num)” function:
- ○ Check the value of “num”.
- ■ If it is greater than “1”, then call the function “printNumbers()” recursively along with the decremented value of “num”.
- ■ Display the result on the output screen.
- ○ Check the value of “num”.

Recursive PrintingDesign a recursive function that accepts an integer argument,n , and prints the numbers 1 up through n .
Recursive Multiplication
Design a recursive function that accepts two arguments into the parameters x and y. The function should return the value of x times y. Remember, multiplication can be performed as repeated addition as follows:
7×4=4+4+4+4+4+4+4(To keep the function simple, assume that x and y will always hold positive nonzero integers.)

Sum: a recursive function that computes the sum of integers 1, 2, 3, …., n for a given number n. So Sum(6) should return 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 , i.e. 21.sum(n) = n + sum(n-1)arrow_forwardc++ A palindrome is a string that reads the same both forward and backward. For example, the string "madam" is a palindrome. Write a program that uses a recursive function to check whether a string is a palindrome. Your program must contain a value-returning recursive function that returns true if the string is a palindrome and false otherwise. Do not use any global variables; use the appropriate parameter.arrow_forward

If str1 = If str1 = If str1 = If str1 = “washer” and str2 = “dishwasher” then your function should return “wash” and str2 = “dishwasher” then your function should return “” and str2 = “test” then your function should return True. “test” and str2 = “” then your function should return False.“” and str2 = “” then your function should return True.“test” and str2 = “test” then your function should return True.arrow_forward*C Language The greatest common divisor of integers x and y is the largest integer that divides both x and y. Write a recursive function GCD that returns the greatest common divisor of x and y. The GCD of x and y is defined as follows: If y is equal to zero, then GCD(x, y) is x; otherwise GCD(x, y) is GCD(y, x % y) where % is the remainder operator.arrow_forward
- Problem Statement for Recursive Sum of Numbers Program Here is a simple recursive problem: Design a function that accepts a positive integer >= 1 and returns the sum of all the integers from 1 up to the number passed as an argument. For example, if 10 is passed as an argument, the function will return 55. Use recursion to calculate the sum. Write a second function which asks the user for the integer and displays the result of calling the function. Part 1. Understand the Problem To design a recursive function, you need to determine at least one base case (the base case returns a solution) and a general case (the general case calls the function again but passes a smaller version of the data as a parameter). To make this problem recursive think about it like this: If the integer is 1, the function will return 1. If the integer is 2, the function will return 1 + 2 = 3. If the integer is 3, the function will return 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. . . . For this problem, we will be sending in the "last"…arrow_forward4. Design a recursive function that accepts an integer argument, n, and prints every second number from n down to a minimum of 0.

Thank you.arrow_forward11.11 LAB: Number pattern Write a recursive function called PrintNumPattern() to output the following number pattern. Given a positive integer as input (Ex: 12), subtract another positive integer (Ex: 3) continually until 0 or a negative value is reached, and then continually add the second integer until the first integer is again reached. For this lab, do not end output with a newline. Ex. If the input is: 12 3 the output is: 12 9 6 3 0 3 6 9 12 main.cpp: #include using namespace std; // TODO: Write recursive PrintNumPattern() function int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int num1; int num2; cin >> num1; cin >> num2; PrintNumPattern(num1, num2); return 0; }arrow_forwardA palindrome is a string that reads the same both forward and backward.
