Given a recursive function as below. predict the output for the inputs given. show the steps.

int x(int n)

{

if (n==1) return 5;

else

return n + x(n/2);

}

predict the value of x(10), show the steps of finding that out.

22.

Explanation:

First call will be made to X(10).Since 10 is not equal to 1 else will be executed

X(10)=10+X(5)(1)

X(5) will be called in the call stack again else will be executed and it will return

X(5)=5+X(2)(2)

X(2) will be called and else will get executed and it will return.

X(2)=2+X(1)(3)

Now the argument is 1 if will be executed.Hence X(1) will return 5.

The value of X(2) will be 7.So the value of X(5) will be 5+7=12.

X(10)=10 + 12=22.
