PYTHON CS1 PROBLEM (NO LOOPS)
Define a recursive function that takes two strings str1 and str2 as parameters. It returns True if str1 is a suffix of str2, otherwise it should return False.For example:
If str1 = True.
If str1 = False.
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.

- (Numerical) Write and test a function that returns the position of the largest and smallest values in an array of double-precision numbers.arrow_forward(List maintenance) a. Write a complete C++ program that can be used to update an ordered list of numbers. Use the list of numbers shown in Figure 7.13 to test that your program is working correctly. b. Test the program you wrote for Exercise 4a, using a new part number of 86 with the list of numbers shown in Figure 7.13. This test should place this new code at the beginning of the existing list. c. Test the program you wrote for Exercise 4a, using a part number of 200 with the list of numbers shown in Figure 7.13. This test should place this new part number at the end of the existing listarrow_forwardRecursive 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.)arrow_forward

IN Q BASIC LANGUAGEarrow_forwardComputer science C prog Create a recursive function that finds if a number is palindrome or not(return true or false), A palindromic number is a number (such as 16461) that remains the same when its digits are reversed. In the main function asks the user to enter a number then check if it's palindrome or not using the function you created previously.arrow_forwardC programming Language Recursion Question 1: Write c program to print the sum of the array elements using recursive function. You should have the main function + function to find the summation. Question 2: Write recursive function that returns the value of the following recursive definition: f(x) = 0 if x<= 0 f(x-1 )+ 2 otherwise You should have the main function + the recursive function.arrow_forward
- Design a function that accepts a list as an argument and returns the largest value in the list. The function should use recursion to find the largest item.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_forwardProblem 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_forward
- 2. 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_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_forward3.6 LAB: Number pattern Write a recursive function called print_num_pattern() 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 coding simplicity, output a space after every integer, including the last. 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 12arrow_forward
