Program Plan Intro
Recursive conversion
Program Plan:
- Include the required header files.
- Declare the necessary function prototype and constants.
- Define the main () function.
- Declare the necessary variables to get the input.
- Get the required input from the user.
- Call the method “sign()” to indicate the sign.
- User input gets validated and call the function recursively for the user given input.
- Define the “sign()” method
- Declare the necessary variables
- Validates the value given by the user using “if” statement.
- If the condition becomes true, it will call the function recursively for the number of times based on the input provided by the user.
- If the condition becomes false, it gets returned to the “main()” method.

Consider the following function:
void fun_with_recursion(int x) { printf("%i\n", x); fun_with_recursion(x + 1); } What will happen when this function is called by passing it the value 0?
Write a recursive function that converts a decimal number into a binary number as a string. The function header is:
string decimalToBinary(int value)
Write a test program that prompts the user to enter a decimal number and dis- plays its binary equivalent.
For glass box testing of a recursive function, you should test cases where:
a) the function returns without a recursive call, ie using a base case
b) the function makes exactly one recursive call
c) the function makes more than one recursive call
d) all of these

- Digital Sum The digital sum of a number n is the sum of its digits. Write a recursive function digitalSum(n:int) -> int that takes a positive integer n and returns its digital sum. For example, digitalSum (2019) should return 12 because 2+0+1+9=12.

- 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_forward6.

- Please can be handwritten. Question 2: Implementing a Recursive Function . Write recursive function, recursionprob(n), which takes a positive number as its argument and returns the output as shown below. The solution should clearly write the steps as shown in an example in slide number 59 and slide number 60 in lecture slides. After writing the steps, trace the function for “recursiveprob(5)” as shown in an example slide number 61. Function Output: >> recursionprob(1) 1 >> recursionprob(2) 1 4 >> recursionprob(3) 1 4 9 >>recrusionprob(4) 1 4 9 16arrow_forwardIdentify the base case in this recursive function.

MooP eok Drarrow_forwardRecursive Copy Function Given a string str and number n, write a program that recursively appends a copy of string str n times and returns the resulting string. Please complete the following function. n is the number of copies to add to str: function RecursiveCopy(str, n) {// your code here} The problem must satisfy the following: You must use recursion. You should end up with n+1 copies of the str total in the output because you are appending additional str copies. Use string literal formatting for the output.arrow_forward
