Given non-negative integers x and n, x taken to the nth power can be defined as: x to the 0th power is 1 x to the nth power can

be obtained by multiplying x to the n-1'th power with x Write a long-valued function named power that accepts two int parameters x and n (in that order) and recursively calculates and returns the value of x taken to the n'th power.

Answer:

The power function can be written as a recursive function (using Java) as follows:

  1. static int power(int x, int n)
  2. {
  3.        if(n == 0){
  4.            return 1;
  5.        }
  6.        else {
  7.            return power(x, n-1 ) * x;
  8.        }
  9. }

Explanation:

A recursive function is a function that call itself during run time.

Based on the question, we know x to the 0th power is 1. Hence, we can just create a condition if n = 0, return 1 (Line 3 - 5).

Next, we  implement the logic "x to the nth power can be obtained by multiplying x to the n-1'th power with x " from the question with the code:  return power(x, n-1 ) * x in the else block. (Line 6 -8)

In Line 7, power() function will call itself recursively by passing x and n-1 as arguments. Please note the value of n will be reduced by one for every round of recursive call. This recursive call will stop when n = 0.

Just imagine if we call the function as follows:

int result =  power(2,  3);

What happen  will be as follows:

  • run Line 7 -> return power(2, 2) * 2    
  • run Line 7 -> return power(2, 1) * 2
  • run Line 7 -> return power(1, 0) * 2
  • run Line 4 -> return 1    (Recursive call stop here)

Next, the return value from the inner most recursive call will be return to the previous call stack:

  • power(1, 0) * 2   ->   1 * 2
  • power(2, 1) * 2   ->   1 * 2 * 2
  • power(2, 2) * 2   ->   1 * 2 * 2 * 2 - > 8 (final output)

// how to calculate BMI

float BMI(float height, float weight)

{

   // Conditions to find out BMI category

   if (bmi < 18.5)

       cout << "underweight";

   else if (bmi >= 18.5 && bmi < 24.9)

       cout << "Healthy";

   else if (bmi >= 24.9 && bmi < 30)

   else if (bmi >= 30)

       cout << "Suffering from Obesity";

   return 0;

}

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

00(01)*+|(01)*+101|00(01)*+101

Rest detail is in explanation.

Explanation:

(01)* means all the strings comprising of 0 and 1

when we add + the set includes empty sets as well. and for or we use union, and this can be done using the | sign.

And for concatenation, we have like 00(01)* etc. Hence, the above regular expression.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

An application programming interface (API) is the code the CPU recognizes to perform a procedure in an application.

Explanation:

An application programming interface (API) is the code the CPU recognizes to perform a procedure in an application. API allows an application to communicate with another application, or an operating system, database, network, etc.

An Application Programming Interface (API) creates a consideration for a problem and specifies how clients should interact with software components that implement a solution to that problem.

More recently, API has been used to refer to a specific type of interface between a client and a server, which has been described as a “contract” between both - such that if the client makes a request in a specific format, it will always get a response in a specific format or initiate a defined action.This is a specialized form of API, defined as a Web API.
