Question
1. Let product(n,m) be a recursive method that computes the product of two positive integers, using only addition and subtraction. To make this method a recursive one, you are to make a) a base case when m = 1, b) a general case when m ≠ 1. For a general case, the return value should be n plus the result of a recursive call to the method product() with parameters n and m - 1. Write a short Java code for this method, along with a test program.

- Write a recursive method that returns the value of N! (N factorial) using the definition given in this chapter. Explain why you would not normally use recursion to solve this problem.arrow_forwardCS211 Non-recursive solution for Towers of Hanoi Using the algorithm discussed in class, write an iterative program to solve the Towers of Hanoi problem. The problem: You are given three towers a, b, and c. We start with n rings on tower a and we need to transfer them to tower b subject to the following restrictions: 1. We can only move one ring at a time, and 2. We may never put a larger numbered ring on top of a smaller numbered one. There are always 3 towers. Your program will prompt the user for the number of rings. Here is the algorithm. Definition: A ring is "available" if it is on the top of one of the towers. Definition: The "candidate" is the smallest available ring that has not been moved on the most recent move. The first candidate is ring 1. The Algorithm: 1. Find the candidate. 2. Move the candidate (right or left, depending if the number of rings is odd or even) to the closest tower on which it can be placed. Move "around the circle" if necessary. 3.

- The 4th problem mimics the situation where eagles flying in the sky can be spotted and counted.FindEagles: a recursive function that examines and counts the number of objects (eagles) in aphotograph. The data is in a two-dimensional grid of cells, each of which may be empty (value 0) orfilled (value 1 to 9). Maximum grid size is 50 x 50. The filled cells that are connected form an object(eagle). Two cells are connected if they are vertically, horizontally, or diagonally adjacent. Thefollowing figure shows 3 x 4 grids with 3 eagles. 0 0 1 21 0 0 01 0 3 1 FindEagle function takes as parameters the 2-D array and the x-y coordinates of a cell that is a part ofan eagle (non-zero value) and erases (change to 0) the image of an eagle. The function FindEagleshould return an integer value that counts how many cells has been counted as part of an eagle and havebeen erased. The following sample data has two pictures, the first one is 3 x 4, and the second one is 5 x 5 grids.

The objective is to move all disks from the first rod to thethird, such that:- only one disk is moved at a time- a larger disk can never be placed on top of a smaller oneWrite a recursive function that outputs the sequence of steps needed tosolve the puzzle with n disks.Write a test program in C++ that allows the user to input number of disks andthen uses your function to output the steps needed to solve the puzzle.Hint: If you could move up n−1 of the disks from the first post to thethird post using the second post as a spare, the last disk could be moved fromthe first post to the second post. Then by using the same technique you canmove the n−1 disks from the third post to the second post, using the firstdisk as a spare. There! You have the puzzle solved.
