Practice Questions for Recursion | Set 3
Explain the functionality of below recursive functions.
Question 1
void fun1(int n) { int i = 0; if (n > 1) fun1(n-1); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) printf(" * "); } |

filter_none
Answer: Total numbers of stars printed is equal to 1 + 2 + …. (n-2) + (n-1) + n, which is n(n+1)/2.
Question 2
#define LIMIT 1000 void fun2(int n) { if (n <= 0) return; if (n > LIMIT) return; printf("%d ", n); fun2(2*n); printf("%d ", n); } |
chevron_right
filter_none
Answer: For a positive n, fun2(n) prints the values of n, 2n, 4n, 8n … while the value is smaller than LIMIT. After printing values in increasing order, it prints same numbers again in reverse order. For example fun2(100) prints 100, 200, 400, 800, 800, 400, 200, 100.
If n is negative, the function is returned immediately.
