Question
Olive Oyl gives Popeye a huge box containing a gift. Popeye, thinking that it was a large tin of spinach, opened
it quickly, but inside was a tin of mushroom soup and another box. When he opened the new box, it had a tin
of creamed corn and yet another new box. Eventually Popeye opened box after box until he did get a box with
the tin of spinach that he was thrilled to have, and thankfully he could finally stop opening boxes!
Given a list of tin labels representing the tins found in each of the boxes, from the largest box to the smallest
box, write the recursive function called countBoxes to count and return the number of boxes that Popeye
opens before he gets to his beloved tin of spinach. Use a main function to test your recursive function by:
• creating a list containing various tin item labels, or using the following list:
tinLabels = ["mushroom soup", "creamed corn",
"apple pie filling", "kidney beans", \
"chili", "custard", "peas and carrots", \
"spaghetti sauce", "sprouts", \
"green beans", "spinach", \
"tuna", " tomato paste "]
calling the recursive function that counts and returns the number of boxes that Popeye opens before he
finds the tin of spinach (you may assume that "spinach" exists in the list)
• displaying the result returned by the recursive function, countBoxes
Call the file containing your program popeye.py. No marks will be given for a non-recursive solution.
Sample output:
Number of boxes that Popeye opens before getting spinach: 11
