Program Plan Intro

Calculate the square root

Program plan:

  • Import the required packages
  • The function named “nextGuess()” is defined and inside the “nextGuess()”,
    • Declare the required variable named as “g”.
    • Calculate and assign the value of “g”
    • Return the value stored in the “g” variable.
  • In the “main()” function,
    • Generate the prompts to take the user inputs
    • Calculate the value of “g”.
    • Initialize a for loop that ranges till the value of “y”, which is taken as user input.
    • Call the method named “nextGuess()” with user input as the argument.
  • Print the output value.
  • Call the function “main()”.

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 16
Which of the following statements are true?■ Any recursive function can be converted into a nonrecursive function.■ Recursive functions take more time and memory to execute than nonrecursive functions.■ Recursive functions are always simpler than nonrecursive functions.■ There is always a selection statement in a recursive function to check whether a base case is reached.
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++
