Practice Questions for Recursion | Set 1

Explain the functionality of the following functions. 

Question 1 

C++




int fun1(int x, int y)
{
    if (x == 0)
        return y;
    else
        return fun1(x - 1, x + y);
}


C




int fun1(int x, int y)
{
    if (x == 0)
        return y;
    else
        return fun1(x - 1, x + y);
}


Java




static int fun1(int x, int y)
{
    if (x == 0)
        return y;
    else
        return fun1(x - 1, x + y);
}


Python3




def fun1(x, y) :
  
    if (x == 0) :
        return y
    else :
        return fun1(x - 1, x + y)

C#




static int fun1(int x, int y)
{
    if (x == 0)
        return y;
    else
        return fun1(x - 1, x + y);
}
  
// This code is contributed by divyesh072019


Javascript




<script>
  
function fun1(x, y)
{
     if (x == 0) 
        return y
    else 
        return fun1(x - 1, x + y)
}
  
// This code is contributed by gottumukkalabobby
  
</script>


Answer: The function fun1() calculates and returns ((1 + 2 … + x-1 + x) +y), which is x(x+1)/2 + y. For example, if x is 5 and y is 2, then fun should return 15 + 2 = 17.

Question 2 

C++




// minimum index finder
  
int minIndex(int arr[], int s, int e)
{
    int sml = INT32_MAX;
    int mindex;
    for (int i = s; i < e; i++) {
        if (sml > arr[i]) {
            sml = arr[i];
            mindex = i;
        }
    }
    return mindex;
}
  
void fun2(int arr[], int start_index, int end_index)
{
    if (start_index >= end_index)
        return;
    int min_index;
    int temp;
  
    // minIndex() returns index of minimum value in
    // array arr[start_index...end_index]

    // swap the element at start_index and min_index
    swap(arr[start_index], arr[min_index]);
  
    fun2(arr, start_index + 1, end_index);

Answer: The function fun2() is a recursive implementation of Selection Sort.

Time complexity: O(N2)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
