Program Plan Intro
Problem Solving:
In Python, a problem can be divided into smaller parts only if it has an identical structure to the whole problem. Then, it can be solved using recursion.
Working method of recursive function:
A recursive function has two approaches. They are as follows:
- If a problem can be solved currently without using recursion, then use function to solve it and returns.
- If a problem cannot be solved currently, then the function reduces the problem into smaller parts only if it has a similar structure to the whole program. And the function calls itself to solve the sub-parts.
Problem cases:
In order to apply the above approaches into the program for solving it, then it is important to identify the problem case. There are two cases available in problem solving. They are base case and recursive case.

1. Undercover Mission Planby CodeChum Admin
Hi Programmer, I'm Agent J.
I'm preparing for an undercover mission going to the enemy's base. However, it seems that my plans are still missing some few details.
Can you help me with this?
Instructions:
In the code editor, there's a main() function that calls the recursive printPlan() function.The printPlan() function already contains some code but it seems to be missing a base case that makes it stop. Supposedly, this printPlan() function should only print the plan by n / 2 number of times. For example, if n is 10, then this should only print the plan 5 times or if n is 20, then this should only print the plan 10 times.Fix this function by adding the correct condition in its base case.For this problem, assume that the value of n is always divisible by 2.Input
1. Value of n
Output
Enter n: 6Plan by Agent J.Plan by Agent J.Plan by Agent J.

- The twins Kartik and Kunaal want to play word search puzzles with their class. They want to befaster than everyone else in their class, so they decided to write a C code to help them find wordswith a click of a button. Little did they know, everyone in class decided to do this question. You are required to implement search2D function. void search2D(char word[], int wordSize, const int Size, char grid[Size][Size]); search2D receives the word to look for char word[], the size of the word int wordSize, sizeof the grid const int Size and the puzzle grid char grid[Size][Size]. The word size can bebetween 2 and 23. You are NOT required to check for the validity of the word size.search2D should look for the first letter in the word row by row. If it finds the first letter of the wordin the puzzle, it should look for the remaining of the word in the 8 directions from the south and goesclockwise, i.e. south, south-west, west, north-west, north, north-east, east and lastly…arrow_forwardWrite a java recursive program to solve the "Missionaries and Cannibals" problem:Three missionaries and three cannibals come to a river and find a boat that holds two. If the cannibals ever outnumber the missionaries on either bank, the missionaries will be eaten. How might they cross safely? Input a character from the keyboard either a c (cannibal) or m (missionary). Check case and error check inputs. The output should include the initial problem, the moves you make, and a "picture" of the current state of the puzzle after each move (round). The final output should include the total number of rounds needed to solve the problem. Finally, ask the user if they wish to run the program again. The program must use recursion as part of the solution. Refer to the sample output below.

The equation is:V = nRT / PSince we only have used integer arithmetic, all numbers will be integer values with nodecimal points. The constant R is 8.314 and will be specified as (8314/1000). This givesthe same result. Implement the idea gas law program where the user is prompted for andenters values for n, T, and P, and V is calculated and printed out. Be careful toimplement an accurate version of this program. Your program should include a properand useful prompt for input, and print the results in a meaningful mannerarrow_forward
