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.
1.)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.) Buy M, get N free
Then alter your first answer to allow for the user to enter any M and N for how many you need to buy to get free items

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.
