Write a program that checks whether a positive number given by an input from the user is greater than 5 and less than 20 with ja
Alona [7]

Answer:

Program written in Java is as follows

See comments for explanations

import java.util.Scanner;

public class CheckRange {

public static void main (String [] args)

{

// This line allows the program accept user input

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

//This line declares variable for user input

int num;

//This line prompts user for input

System.out.print("Number: ");

//This line gets user input

num = input.nextInt();

/* The following if statement checks if the user input is greater than 5 and less than 20 */

if (num > 5 && num <= 20)

{

/* This line is executed if the above condition is true */

System.out.print(num+" is greater than 5 and less than 20");

}

else

{

/*If the condition is not true, this line is executed*/

System.out.print(num+" is not within specified range");

}

// The if condition ends here

}

}

Is recursion ever required to solve a problem? What other approach can you use to solve a problem that is repetitive in nature?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

No you can not tell that recursion is ever required to solve a problem.

Recursion is required when in the problem, the solution of the input depends on the solution of the subsets of the input.

Iteration is also another form of repetitive approach we follow to solve that kind of problems.

But the difference between recursion and iteration is :

  • In recursion we call the function repeatedly to return the result to next level.
  • In iteration certain bunch of instructions in a loop are executed until certain conditions met.

Explanation:

For example in the Fibonacci sequence problem, to find f_{n}, we need to compute f_{n-1} and f_{n-2} before that.

  • In case of recursion we just call the method Fibonacci(n) repeatedly only changing the parameter Fibonacci(n-1), that calculates the value and return it.

                           Fibonacci(n)

                           1. if(n==0 or n==1)

                           2.       return 1.

                           3.else

                           4.      return( Fibonacci(n-1)+Fibonacci(n-1) )

  • But in case of iteration we run a loop for i=2 to n, within which we add the value of current f_{i-1} and f_{i-2} to find the value of f_{i}

                           Fibonacci(n)

                           1. if(n<=2)

                           2.    result = 1

                           3.     else

                           4. result1 =1 and result2=1.

                           5.      {  result = result1 +result2.

                           6.         result1= result2.

                           7.         result2 = result.

                           8.      }

                           9.  output result.
