Question)
Which of the following is NOT a good strategy for designing recursive methods?
A recursive method should include at least one conditional statement.
A recursive method should establish a base case.
A recursive method should reduce the problem to a smaller problem or problems and call itself recursively to solve the smaller problem(s).
When the base case is reached stop the program and display results.
The following recursive method has been created. This method accepts two integer parameters called a and b respectively.
Assume that the name of the method is m and the code in the recursive method is:
if ( a > b ) return; if(a % 10 == 3) System.out.print(a+ " "); m(a+1, b); <---- recursive call }
what would be the output with the following call m(1,50) where a is 1 and b is 50
The following recursive method is created
public static void t(int a) { if (a < 250) return; System.out.print(a+" "); ____1____ ( ____2____ _____3_____ _____4_____ ); //this is the recursive call code }
What code should be placed for the numbers so that the output 1000 500 250 is generated with the call t(1000)

- 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.arrow_forwardHow to answer the following questions Given the following code, what are the constraints on the input argument? int mystery(int num){ if (num == 0) return 0; else if (num > 100) return -1; else return num + mystery(num – 1); } A. It must be between 0 and 100 inclusive. B. It must be greater than 0. C. It must be less than 0 or greater than 100. D. It must be greater than or equal to 0. 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.

Also, write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of lines in the pattern and uses the recursive method displayStars to generate the pattern.

For example if you call it with 10, it would return 30 because 10+8+6+4+2=30 Write a RECURSIVE method called sumEven It must take in an int (the max you wish to sum to) It must return an int (the sum) If it's passed in an even number it should sum the number passed in with all the even numbers before it. For example if passed 8, it would sum 8+6+4+2=20 If it's passed an odd number it should still sum only the EVEN numbers. What we mean is that sumEven(9) should return 8+6+4+2=20. Not 9+7+5+3+1. Hint: You'll have an if statement with the base condition, an else if for even and an else if for odd. In the case of odd, just call yourself with the next lowest even number.
