Question

Needs to be coded in JAVA.

01 - Recursive Combinations

 

Compute the combinations of n things taken k at a time using both iterative and recursive methods. Both methods should use only int types for mathematical operations. If the iterative method continues to mock you, that is ok, the recursive method should not.

 

 

 

You should modify the attached code for your submission.

 

 

 

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

public class Combination {

 

 

 

private static boolean useFact;

 

 

 

/**

 

* Computes some combinations.

* @param args unused

 

*/

 

public static void main(String[] args) {

 

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {

 

useFact = (i % 2 == 0);

 

System.out.println(useFact ? "FACTORIAL METHOD" : "RECURSIVE METHOD");

 

System.out.println();

 

 

 

combination(2, 2);

 

combination(3, 2);

 

combination(4, 3);

 

combination(10, 2);

 

combination(52, 5);

 

combination(60, 4);

 

combination(75, 3);

 

combination(100, 4);

 

System.out.println();

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

/**

 

* A method which switches between the two combination methods

 

* @param n the number of things

 

* @param k how many to choose

 

*/

 

public static void combination(int n, int k) {

 

System.out.print(n + " choose " + k + " = ");

 

try {

 

if (useFact)

 

System.out.println(combinationFactorial(n, k));

 

else

 

System.out.println(combinationRecursive(n, k));
