Recursive function definition for “squares” function:

The recursive function definition for “squares” function is shown below:

//Function definition for "squares" function

int squares(int n)

{

      /* If "n" is less than or equal to "1" */

      if (n <= 1)

            //Returns "1"

            return 1;

      //Otherwise

      else

     /* Recursively call the "squares" function with subtracting the value of "n" by "1" and then add and multiplied by "n" */

            return (squares(n-1) + n * n);

}

Explanation:

The above function is used to compute the sum of the squares of numbers from “1” to “n”.

  • In this function, first check the value of “n”. If the value of “n” is less than or equal to “1”, then returns “1”.
  • Otherwise, recursively call the “squares” function with subtracting the value of “n” by “1” and then add and multiplied by “n”...

Write a recursive function definition for the following function: int squares(int n); //Precondition: n >= 1 //Returns the sum of the squares of numbers 1 through n. For example, squares(3) returns 14 because 12 + 22 + 32 is 14.
Write a recursive function that computes the sum of the digits in an integer. Use the following function header: def sumDigits(n):For example, sumDigits(234) returns Write a test program that prompts the user to enter an integer and displays its sum.
Exponent y Catherine Arellano mplement a recursive function that returns he exponent given the base and the result. for example, if the base is 2 and the result is 3, then the output should be 3 because the exponent needed for 2 to become 8 is 3 (i.e. 23 = 8) nstructions: 1. In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for two integer inputs: 1. The first integer is the base 2. The second integer is the result 2. Furthermore, you are provided with the getExponent() function. The details of this function are the following: 1. Return type - int 2. Name - getExponent 3. Parameters 1. int - base 2. int - result 4. Description - this recursive function returns the exponent 5. Your task is to add the base case and the general case so it will work Score: 0/5 Overview 1080 main.c exponent.h 1 #include 2 #include "exponent.h" 3 int main(void) { 4 int base, result; 5 6 printf("Enter the base: "); scanf("%d", &base); 7 8 9 printf("Enter the result: ");…
