complete Programming Exercise 1 And 4 On Page 1067 And 1068 Remembe

1. Complete Programming Exercise 1 and 4 on page 1067 and 1068. Remember that you are using recursive functions. When I open your program, I must see a function being called within itself. Example: void function1 (int num) { ... ... ... function1(number); }

2. Include a screenshot of your programs running. Save the two programs and screenshots into one zip file.

Recursion is a fundamental concept in programming where a function calls itself to solve a problem. It simplifies complex problems by breaking them down into simpler, solvable sub-problems. In this exercise, we are tasked with implementing two specific programming problems from pages 1067 and 1068, utilizing recursive functions explicitly. This involves defining functions that invoke themselves within their execution flow, exemplifying the core principle of recursion. Additionally, the task requires demonstrating the solutions visually through screenshots of running programs, then compiling these into a single zip file for submission.

The first exercise likely involves a recursive function designed to perform a particular calculation or process, such as factorial computation, sequence generation, or data traversal—common tasks that highlight the elegance and simplicity of recursion. For example, a recursive factorial function typically calls itself with a decremented argument until a base case is reached:

void factorial(int n) {


if (n == 0 || n == 1)


return 1;


else


return n * factorial(n - 1);


}

Similarly, the fourth exercise may present a different problem, potentially involving recursive data structures such as trees or lists, or problem-solving procedures like reversing a string, generating permutations, or traversing a binary tree. The key requirement is to ensure the recursive function is visibly called within itself, providing a clear demonstration of the recursive process.

Implementing these exercises involves writing clean, well-commented code that correctly handles base cases to prevent infinite recursion. Proper indentation and function calls are critical for readability and understanding. After successful implementation, running the programs and capturing screenshots serve as evidence that the recursive logic functions as intended. These visual proof elements, combined with the source code, should be compiled into a single zip file for easy submission.

In conclusion, this exercise emphasizes understanding recursion by actively coding recursive functions to solve specific problems, and effectively demonstrating their operation through screenshots. Proper implementation and documentation are essential to showcase mastery of recursive programming concepts, which are critical in many advanced algorithms and data structures, including divide-and-conquer strategies, tree traversal, and backtracking algorithms.
