  • Q4. What is recursion?Explain it graphically?How compiler executed recursion?
  • Ans. 

    Recursion is a process in which a function calls itself repeatedly until a base condition is met.

    • Recursion involves breaking down a problem into smaller subproblems and solving them recursively.

    • It uses a stack to keep track of function calls and their parameters.

    • Examples include factorial, Fibonacci sequence, and binary search.

    • Compiler executes recursion by allocating memory for each function call and storing the retur...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Which data structure is used in recursion?
  • Ans. 

    The data structure used in recursion is a stack.

    • Recursion uses a stack data structure to keep track of function calls.

    • Each time a function is called, its parameters and local variables are pushed onto the stack.

    • When the function returns, the values are popped off the stack.

    • This allows the program to keep track of where it is in the recursive process.

    • Examples of recursive algorithms that use a stack include depth-first

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Write any program of recursion and explain it using stack frames?
  • Ans. 

    A program demonstrating recursion using factorial function.

    • Recursion is a technique where a function calls itself.

    • Factorial function is a classic example of recursion.

    • Each recursive call creates a new stack frame.

    • The base case is when the input is 1, and the function returns 1.

    • The final result is the product of all the recursive calls.

    • Example: factorial(5) = 5 * factorial(4) = 5 * 4 * factorial(3) = ... = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2
