Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python it doesn't use any loops, instead it uses a recursive function in order to continue asking the user for the inputs and count the number of positive values. If anything other than a number is passed it automatically ends the program.

def countPos(number=input("Enter number: "), counter=0):

   try:

       number = int(number)

       if number > 0:

           counter += 1

           newNumber = input("Enter number: ")

           return countPos(newNumber, counter)

       else:

           newNumber = input("Enter number: ")

           return countPos(newNumber, counter)

   except:

       print(counter)

       print("Program Finished")

countPos()
