Question 1 Predict the output of the following program. What does the following fun() do in general?
C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int fun ( int n, int *fp )
{
int t, f;
if ( n <= 1 )
{
*fp = 1;
return 1;
}
t = fun ( n - 1, fp );
f = t + *fp;
*fp = t;
return f;
}
int main()
{
int x = 15;
cout << fun(5, &x) << endl;
return 0;
}
|
C
#include <stdio.h>
int fun ( int n, int *fp )
{
int t, f;
if ( n <= 1 )
{
*fp = 1;
return 1;
}
t = fun ( n-1, fp );
f = t + *fp;
*fp = t;
return f;
}
int main()
{
int x = 15;
printf ( "%d\n" ,fun(5, &x));
return 0;
}
|
Java
import java.io.*;
class GFG {
static int fp = 15 ;
static int fun ( int n)
{
int t, f;
if ( n <= 1 )
{
fp = 1 ;
return 1 ;
}
t = fun ( n - 1 );
f = t + fp;
fp = t;
return f;
}
public static void main (String[] args)
{
System.out.println(fun( 5 ));
}
}
|
Python3
fp = 15
def fun ( n ):
global fp
if ( n < = 1 ):
fp = 1
return 1
t = fun ( n - 1 )
f = t + fp
fp = t
return f
print (fun( 5 ))
|
C#
using System;
class GFG{
static int fp = 15;
static int fun ( int n)
{
int t, f;
if ( n <= 1 )
{
fp = 1;
return 1;
}
t = fun ( n - 1 );
f = t + fp;
fp = t;
return f;
}
static public void Main ()
{
Console.Write(fun(5));
}
}
|
Output:
8
The program calculates nth Fibonacci Number. The statement t = fun ( n-1, fp ) gives the (n-1)th Fibonacci number and *fp is used to store the (n-2)th Fibonacci Number. Initial value of *fp (which is 15 in the above program) doesn’t matter. Following recursion tree shows all steps from 1 to 10, for execution of fun(5, &x).
(1) fun(5, fp)
/ \
(2) fun(4, fp) (10) t = 5, f = 8, *fp = 5
/ \
(3) fun(3, fp) (9) t = 3, f = 5, *fp = 3
/ \
(4) fun(2, fp) (8) t = 2, f = 3, *fp = 2
/ \
(5) fun(1, fp) (7) t = 1, f = 2, *fp = 1
/
(6) *fp = 1
Question 2: Predict the output of the following program.
C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void fun( int n)
{
if (n > 0)
{
fun(n - 1);
cout << n << " " ;
fun(n - 1);
}
}
int main()
{
fun(4);
return 0;
}
|
C
#include <stdio.h>
void fun( int n)
{
if (n > 0)
{
fun(n-1);
printf ( "%d " , n);
fun(n-1);
}
}
int main()
{
fun(4);
return 0;
}
|
Java
import java.util.*;
class GFG{
static void fun( int n)
{
if (n > 0 )
{
fun(n - 1 );
System.out.print(n+ " " );
fun(n - 1 );
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
fun( 4 );
}
}
|
Python3
def fun(n):
if (n > 0 ):
fun(n - 1 )
print (n,end = " " )
fun(n - 1 )
fun( 4 )
|
C#
using System;
class GFG{
static void fun( int n)
{
if (n > 0)
{
fun(n - 1);
Console.Write(n+ " " );
fun(n - 1);
}
}
static public void Main ()
{
fun(4);
}
}
|
Output
1 2 1 3 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1
fun(4)
/
fun(3), print(4), fun(3) [fun(3) prints 1 2 1 3 1 2 1]
/
fun(2), print(3), fun(2) [fun(2) prints 1 2 1]
/
fun(1), print(2), fun(1) [fun(1) prints 1]
/
fun(0), print(1), fun(0) [fun(0) does nothing]
