Explanation of Solution
The given program states that define a function name “MysteryPrint()” that takes “N” as an argument and then checks the “if” or “else” condition. This program has recursive function which calls the function directly by itself and then repeat the operation until the function get terminated or failed.
To ensure check the given program in the Python language,
# Function definition
def MysteryPrint(N):
# Check Condition N is greater than 0
if(N > 0):
# Condition is true, display N
print(N)
# Call MysteryPrint with argument N-2
MysteryPrint(N - 2)
# Otherwise
else:
# Display N
print(N)
# Check condition N is greater than -1
if(N > -1):
# Call MysteryPrint with argument N+1
MysteryPrint(N + 1)
# Call MysteryPrint with argument 2
MysteryPrint(2)
Explanation:
- Initially, the “MysteryPrint()” function takes value “2” as an argument, since it is given that call the function with the value “2”.
- In the next step, it checks the “if” condition which says if the value of “N” is greater than “0”, then execute the block of statement under the “if” condition and since, the value “2” is greater than “0”, so it executes the instruction under “if” condition and print the value “2”...

- (Numerical) Write a program that tests the effectiveness of the rand() library function. Start by initializing 10 counters to 0, and then generate a large number of pseudorandom integers between 0 and 9. Each time a 0 occurs, increment the variable you have designated as the zero counter; when a 1 occurs, increment the counter variable that’s keeping count of the 1s that occur; and so on. Finally, display the number of 0s, 1s, 2s, and so on that occurred and the percentage of the time they occurred.arrow_forwardWrite a recursive function that takes as a parameter a nonnegative integer and generates the following pattern of stars. If the nonnegative integer is 4, then the pattern generated is:********************Also, write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of lines in the pattern and uses the recursive function to generate the pattern. For example, specifying 4 as the number of lines generates the above pattern.arrow_forwardUse java Language Write the function parrotTrouble.** We have a loud talking parrot. The "hour" parameter* is the current hour time in the range 0..23. We are* in trouble if the parrot is talking and the hour* is before 7 or after 20. Return true if we are* in trouble.** Some Examples:* parrotTrouble(true, 6) returns true* parrotTrouble(true, 7) returns false* parrotTrouble(false, 6) returns false** @param isTalking true if the parrot is talking.* @param hour the time of day from 0..23.* @return true if you're in trouble with your neighbors.arrow_forward
- Write a recursive function called draw_triangle() that outputs lines of '*' to form a right side up isosceles triangle. Function draw_triangle() has one parameter, an integer representing the base length of the triangle. Assume the base length is always odd and less than 20. Output 9 spaces before the first '*' on the first line for correct formatting. Hint: The number of '*' increases by 2 for every line drawn. Ex: If the input of the program is: 3 the function draw_triangle() outputs: * *** Ex: If the input of the program is: 19 the function draw_triangle() outputs: * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ************* *************** ***************** ******************* Note: No space is output before the first '*' on the last line when the base length is 19. if __name__ == '__main__': base_length = int(input()) draw_triangle(base_length)arrow_forwardCreate a function that validates whether a number n is within the bounds of lower and upper.

In the function, search the Integer array with a for-loop, and if the Integer parameter is found in the array, return false. If the Integer parameter is not found, return true. #2a – In pseudocode, write a call to a module that passes 1 Integer variable, 1 Real variable, 1 String constant, and 1 String literal as arguments. #2b – In pseudocode, write the module header that accepts 1 Integer, 1 Real, and 2 Strings as parameters. #3 – This pseudocode has multiple problems.

For example, the string "madam" is a palindrome. Write a program that uses a recursive function to check whether a string is a palindrome. Your program must contain a value-returning recursive function that returns true if the string is a palindrome and false otherwise. Do not use any global variables; use the appropriate parameter.arrow_forwardQ 1.Consider the following functions f1 and f2:int f1(int n) { if (n == 0) { return 1; } else { return f2(4, f1(n – 1)); }} int f2(int n1, int n2) { if (n1 == 0) { return 0; }else { return n2 + f2(n1 – 1, n2); }} a.

- Q6 In Python implement a recursive function named test() that accepts an integer parameter. If the parameter value is even then the test function should divide the parameter value by 2 and return this value. If the parameter value is odd, then the function should return 3 times the parameter value + 1. Then request a user to enter an integer number and recursively call converge() on that number until the function returns the value 1.arrow_forwardCreate a program that accepts an integer N, and pass it to the function generatePattern. generatePattern() function which has the following description: Return type - void Parameter - integer n This function prints a right triangular pattern of letter 'T' based on the value of n.
