Design a recursive version of the Euclidean
Question 3 of Section 5.2:
3 The Euclidean algorithm finds the greatest common divisor of two positive integers X and Y by the following process:
As long as the value of neither X nor Y is zero, assign the larger the remainder of dividing the larger by the smaller. The greatest common divisor, if it exists, will be the remaining non-zero value.

- 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. Problem 2arrow_forwardWrite a recursive function to implement the recursive algorithm (multiplying two positive integers using repeated addition). Also, write a program to test your function.arrow_forwardFor function log, write the missing base case condition and the recursive call. This function computes the log of n to the base b. As an example: log 8 to the base 2 equals 3 since 8 = 2*2*2. We can find this by dividing 8 by 2 until we reach 1, and we count the number of divisions we make. You should assume that n is exactly b to some integer power. Examples: log(2, 4) -> 2 and log(10, 100) -> 2 public int log(int b, int n ) { if <<Missing base case condition>> { return 0; } else { return <<Missing a Recursive case action>> }}arrow_forward
- Computer Science A) If the values of c and d are given and the function Euclid(c,d) below is executed, multiple recursive calls (Bolded at function) are performed to obtain gcd(c,d) and terminate. Give examples of c and d that make exactly 7 recursive calls, and show the process. However, c>d>=1. Euclid(c,d) if d=0 then return c else return Euclid(d,c mod d)arrow_forwardWrite a recursive function for Euclid's algorithm to find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two positive integers. gcd is the largest integer that divides evenly into both of them. For example, the gcd(102, 68) = 34. You may recall learning about the greatest common divisor when you learned to reduce fractions. For example, we can simplify 68/102 to 2/3 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 34, their gcd. Finding the gcd of huge numbers is an important problem that arises in many commercial applications. We can efficiently compute the gcd using the following property, which holds for positive integers p and q: If p > q, the gcd of p and q is the same as the gcd of q and p % q.arrow_forwardInduction and RecursionA number sequence, t(n), where n ≥ 1, is given by the following recursive algorithm, value a = 1, b = 2 Function t(n):1. If n = 1 then1.1. t ← 3b+5else1.2. t ← -n + a∙t(n-1) a) Calculate the first 3 numbers in the number sequence ( t(1), t(2), ...t(3) ). b) For the fifth number t(5) , a call to the function with n=5, make a trace table for the algorithm, thatis calculate and write down a table with the contents of the different variables for every copy of therecursive algorithm, as the computer would go through the algorithm step by step.arrow_forward
- Write a recursive function to implement the recursive algorithm (determining the number of ways to select a set of things from a given set of things). Also, write a program to test your function.arrow_forwardImplement a recursive program that takes in a number and finds the square of that number through addition. 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
