When recursion is used to solve a problem, why must the recursive method call itself to solve a smaller version of the original problem?
Indirect recursion is when function A calls
function B, which in turn calls function A.
is it true or false.

- Java language Write a recursive method to add all of the odd numbers between two numbers (start and end) and return the result. The method receives these numbers as parameters.arrow_forwardRecursion in programming is described as when a function/method makes a direct or indirect call to itself. Which of the features is not valid for a recursive function. Select one: a. The Recursive calls can be more then one b. The Recursive Call – the function calls itself with an input which is a step closer to the stop condition c. The Stoping Conditions can be more than one d. The Recursive call is optional. e. A Stop Condition – the function returns a value when a certain condition is satisfied, without a further recursive callarrow_forwardPascal's triangle is a useful recursive definition that tells us the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomial (x + a)^n. Each element in the triangle has a coordinate, given by the row it is on and its position in the row (which you could call a column). Every number in Pascals triangle is defined as the sum of the item above it and the item above it and to the left. If there is a position that does not have an entry, we treat it as if we had a 0 there. *picture of the pascals triangle* Given the following recursive function signature, write the recursive function that takes a row and a column and finds the value at that position in the triangle. Assume that the triangle starts at row 0 and column 0. Examples: pascal(2, 1) -> 2, pascal(1, 2) -> 0 public int pascal(int row, int column) { }arrow_forward
