Question

how to answer the following questions

The number of recursive calls that a method goes through before returning is called:  A. order of growth efficiency.  B. the depth of recursion.

C. combinatorial recursive count.

D. activation stack frame.
 

The following code is supposed to return the sum of the numbers between 1 and n inclusive, for positive n. An analysis of the code using the "Three Question" approach reveals that:

int sum(int n){

  if (n == 1)

    return 1;

  else

    return (n + sum(n));

}

A. it fails the base-case question.  B. it fails the smaller-caller question.
C. it fails the general-case question.
D. it passes on all three questions and is a valid algorithm.
 
If we cannot remove recursion because tail recursion does not exist, we can always remove it by using:  A. statically allocated activation records 

B. a dynamic programming approach.  C. our own explicitly declared stack.  D. a carefully constructed loop
