Recursive Power Method
Program Plan:
- • Global variable declaration:
- ○ Initialize the variable “minimum” as “1”.
- ○ Initialize the variable “maximum” as “100”.
- • Define the “main()” function:
- ○ Initialize the variable “number” as “0”.
- ○ Initialize the variable “exp” as “0”.
- ○ Get the input from the user and store it to the variable “number”.
- ○ Check the value of “exp”
- ■ If it is less than “minimum” or greater than “maximum”, then get the exponent “exp” from the user.
- ○ Call the function “recursivePower()” and pass the two arguments “number” and “exp”.
- ○ Display the result on the output screen.
- ■ If it is less than “minimum” or greater than “maximum”, then get the exponent “exp” from the user.
- • Define the “recursivePower(x, y)” function:
- ○ Check the value of “y”.
- ■ If it is equal to “0”, then returns is “1”.
- ■ Otherwise, call the function “recursivePower()” recursively along with the arguments “x” and the decremented value of “y”.
- ■ Display the result on the output screen.
- ○ Check the value of “y”.
- • Call the “main()” function.

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.)

- 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_forwardPYTHON 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.arrow_forwardProblem: Recursive Power Method Design a python function that uses recursion to raise a number to a power. The function should accept two arguments: the number to be raised, and the exponent. Assume the exponent is a nonnegative integer. Write the main() function to input the required parameters as shown in thesample input/output. Sample Output:Average number of words per line: 26.0Enter a number: 2Enter a positive whole number between 1 and 100: 102.0 raised to the power of 10 is 1,024.00arrow_forward
- Drawing a right side up triangle Write a recursive function called DrawTriangle() that outputs lines of '*' to form a right side up isosceles triangle. Function DrawTriangle() has one parameter, an integer representing the base length of the triangle. Assume the base length is always odd and less than 20. Output 9 spaces before the first '*' on the first line for correct formatting. Hint: The number of '*' increases by 2 for every line drawn. Ex: If the input of the program is: 3 the function DrawTriangle() outputs: * *** Ex: If the input of the program is: 19 the function DrawTriangle() outputs: * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** ***************** ******************* Note: No space is output before the first '*' on the last line when the base length is 19. in c++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_forwardPython program (recursive function) A recursive function is a function defined in terms of itself via self-referential expressions. This means that the function will continue to call itself and repeat its behavior until some condition is met to return a result. Write a python recursive functionprod that takes x as an argument, and returns the result where, result=1*1/2*1/3*….*1/n Include a screenshot that shows a python program that uses the above function and prints the rounded result to three decimal placesafter prompting the user to enter a number, x. Use x=3. N.B: The code should be included please.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_forwardProgramming Language = Python 3. Recursive Lines Write a recursive function that accepts an integer argument, n. The function should display n lines of asterisks on the screen, with the first line showing 1 asterisk, the second line showing 2 asterisks, up to the nth line which shows n asterisks. Sample Output A AA AAA AAAA NOTE: Print A NOT * character as an output for n.arrow_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_forward

Define a function main that will draw a Koch snowflake with the following parameters when the program is run: Width = 200 Height = 200 Size = 150 Level = 4arrow_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_forwardMULTIPLE FUNCTIONS AND RECURSIVE FUNCTIONS HANDS-ON use #include<stdio.h>arrow_forward
