I need some help on a problem. I have an assignment where we are asked to write 8 separate functions. However, I am also supposed to write an iteration version and a recursive version for each function. I have finished all of the iteration version functions and 6 of 8 recursive functions, but I am having difficulty with creating the last two recursively. So, I am asking for a little insight here.
These last two functions ask for a function that takes input from the user and uses that input to print a Triangle. The first function prints a triangle that stands on it's tip and the second one stands on its base.
For example:
Triangle 1 with user input 4 prints:
****
***
**
*
and Triangle 2 with user input 4 prints:
*
**
***
****
I have written the iteration version of these functions as follows and they work great.
My problem is that I need to convert these functions from iterations into recursive functions, but I can't seem to get them to work. I am not looking for a solution, just a helping hand to point me on the right track to finding a solution.Code:/* Print a Triangle of Stars on it's tip Input: a positive integer Output: an n-sized triangle */ void Triangle(int s) { int i = 0; while (s > 0) { for (i = 0; i < s; i++) { printf("*"); } printf("\n"); s = s - 1; } } /* Print a Triangle of Stars on it's base Input: a positive integer Output: an n-sized triangle */ void TriangleTwo(int t) { int i = 0; int x = 0; int y = 1; int counter = 0; while (counter < t) { x = t - (t - y); for (i = 0; i < x; i++) { printf("*"); } printf("\n"); y++; counter++; } }
Any help is greatly appreciated.
