Next in line, we are learning about recursive functions - the function that calls itself from within its function; backtracking. It is in standard C. I appreciate all who take a look in advance.
The code we were given to use is as follows:
My program thus far is the following:
When I compile the program, I get the following:
The code we were given to use is as follows:
Code:
if x <= 0.....f(x) = 0
else............f(x) = f(x - 1) + 2My program thus far is the following:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
//Variable local to main.
int x, y;
int fun(int);
//Input
printf("Welcome. \n");
printf("Enter x to find f(x): \n");
scanf("%d", x);
//Call to the recursive function to find x.
y = fun(x);
//Output.
printf("The result is is: %d \n", y);
return 0;
}
//Function that returns the recursive value.
int fun(int x)
{
//Base case.
if(x <= 0)
return 0;
//Recursive function.
else
return fun(x - 1) + 2;
}When I compile the program, I get the following:
Code:
Welcome.
Enter x to find f(x):

I did that for the whole first month with semicolons. "Tyranny of the semicolons" she told me. It stuck after that. Tyranny of the everything other than the english alphabet... Thanks to the both of you for subtly pointing it out. My level of pissed-at-myself should beat that one into my brain.
