What is the base case of each of the recursive methods listed in Algorithm Workbench 3, 4, and 5? 4. What type of recursive method do you think would be more difficult to debug: one that uses direct recursion or one that uses indirect recursion? Why? 5. Which repetition approach is less efficient: a loop or a recursive method? Why? 6. When recursion is used to solve a problem, why must the recursive method call itself to solve a smaller version of the original problem? 7. How is a problem usually reduced with a recursive method?arrow_forwardLet S be the set of positive integers defined by: Basis step: 4 € S. Recursive step: If nE S, then 5n +2 e S and n? e S. (a) Find four elements of S that are less than 120. (b) What is the remainder of each of the four elements of S you listed above when they are each divided by 6. Note: You should get the same number. Show the math for each number. (c) State a hypothesis about the remainder of any element of S when the element is divided by 6. Explain how you would use structural induction over the set S to prove your hypothesis. Note: You do not need to actually prove your hypothesis, but clearly explain the steps you would take including the basis step and the inductive step.arrow_forward1.)I have to recursive with python language and was asked to do a buy 2 get 1 free where you have some amount of money(x) each item costs a given amount(y), for each 2 item you get 1 free, builda recursive solution to find out how many items you can buy for x amount of money. 2.)
