Using recursion, write a Java program that takes an input ‘n’ (a number) ( user should gives the n value if user asks fibonacci series of 20 then it should display 20 numbers of fibonacci)from a user to calculate and print out the Fibonacci using the following modified definition:
F(N) = 1 if n = 1 or n = 2
= F((n+1)/2)2 + F((n-1/2)2 if n is odd
= F(n/2 + 1)2 – F(n/2 – 1)2 if n is even
Using recursion, write a Java program that takes an input ‘n’ (a number) from a user to calculate and print out the Fibonacci using the following modified definition:

Your solution must implement recursion to receive points for this question.
Language: C
Using the recursion, show all different ways to represent an integer N as sum of non-zero natural numbers. For example, for N = 3, you have the following possibilities: 3, 2 + 1, 1 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1.

- The Tower of Hanoi is a puzzle where n disks of different sizes arestacked in ascending order on one rod and there are two other rods with nodisks on them. The objective is to move all disks from the first rod to thethird, such that:- only one disk is moved at a time- a larger disk can never be placed on top of a smaller oneWrite a recursive function that outputs the sequence of steps needed tosolve the puzzle with n disks.Write a test program in C++ that allows the user to input number of disks andthen uses your function to output the steps needed to solve the puzzle.Hint: If you could move up n−1 of the disks from the first post to thethird post using the second post as a spare, the last disk could be moved fromthe first post to the second post. Then by using the same technique you canmove the n−1 disks from the third post to the second post, using the firstdisk as a spare. There! You have the puzzle solved.

For example if the number 3 is entered, you would add 3+3+3=9. If 4 is entered you would add 4+4+4+4=16. This program must be implemented using recursion to add the numbers together. I need the MIPS Code for the above.arrow_forward

Can someone explain this recursion problem? In my mind the ouput would be 19 because: 1st step: R(5) = -1 because (5-1)-5 then returns to top with -1 and since that is less than zero it returns 20 but subtracts the -1 it returned def R(n): if n<=0: return 20 return R(n-1) - n print(R(5))arrow_forward
- One of the most common examples of recursion is an algorithm to calculate the factorial of an integer. The notation n! is used for the factorial ofthe integer n and is defined as follows:0! is equal to 11! is equal to 12! is equal to 2 × 1 = 23! is equal to 3 × 2 × 1 = 6arrow_forwardGiven a positive integer 'n', find and return the minimum number of steps that 'n' has to take to get reduced to 1. You can perform any one of the following 3 steps:1.) Subtract 1 from it. (n = n - 1) ,2.) If its divisible by 2, divide by 2.( if n % 2 == 0, then n = n / 2 ) ,3.) If its divisible by 3, divide by 3. (if n % 3 == 0, then n = n / 3 ).

For example, if you want to compute 2^11 and you know that 2^10=1024, then 2^11=2×1024=2048. Write a recursive method public static int pow2(int n) where n is the exponent, that is based on this observation. If the exponent is negative, return -1. import java.util.Scanner; public class PowerTwo{ public static int pow2(int n) { /* code goes here */ } public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); while (in.hasNextInt()) { int exponent = in.nextInt(); System.out.println(pow2(exponent)); } }}arrow_forwardWrite a program that performs the following functionalities:1. Fibonacci: a recursive function that computes the fibonacci series, which is defined as followsfibonacci (n) = fibonacci(n-2) + fibonacci(n-1)fibonacci(0) = 0fibonacci(1) = 1 So the fibonacci looks like: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 …. Therefore, fibonacci(4) = 3, fibonacci(5) = 5, fibonacci(7)=13 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) 3. Largest: a recursive function that computes the largest value for an integer array of positiveand negative values. For example, for the array below, the function largest should return 22,which is the largest value in the array. You can assume there are no more 20 integers in thearray.
