Lecture 10: recursive programming reading: 12.2 - 12.3 CSE 143 Lecture 10: recursive programming reading: 12.2 - 12.3

Exercise Write a recursive method pow accepts an integer base and exponent and returns the base raised to that exponent. Example: pow(3, 4) returns 81 Solve the problem recursively and without using loops.

An optimization Notice the following mathematical property: 312 = 531441 = 96 = (32)6 531441 = (92)3 = ((32)2)3 When does this "trick" work? How can we incorporate this optimization into our pow method? What is the benefit of this trick if the method already works?

Exercise Write a recursive method printBinary that accepts an integer and prints that number's representation in binary (base 2). Example: printBinary(7) prints 111 Example: printBinary(12) prints 1100 Example: printBinary(42) prints 101010 Write the method recursively and without using any loops. place 10 1 32 16 8 4 2 value

Stutter How did we break the number apart? public static int stutter(int n) { if (n < 10) { return (10 * n) + n; } else { int a = mystery(n / 10); int b = mystery(n % 10); return (100 * a) + b; }

Case analysis Recursion is about solving a small piece of a large problem. What is 69743 in binary? Do we know anything about its representation in binary? Case analysis: What is/are easy numbers to print in binary? Can we express a larger number in terms of a smaller number(s)?

printBinary solution // Prints the given integer's binary representation. // Precondition: n >= 0 public static void printBinary(int n) { if (n < 2) { // base case; same as base 10 System.out.println(n); } else { // recursive case; break number apart printBinary(n / 2); printBinary(n % 2); } Can we eliminate the precondition and deal with negatives?

Exercise Write a method crawl accepts a File parameter and prints information about that file. If the File object represents a normal file, just print its name. If the File object represents a directory, print its name and information about every file/directory inside it, indented. cse143 handouts syllabus.doc lecture_schedule.xls homework 1-tiles TileMain.java TileManager.java index.html style.css recursive data: A directory can contain other directories.

File objects A File object (from the java.io package) represents a file or directory on the disk. Constructor/method Description File(String) creates File object representing file with given name canRead() returns whether file is able to be read delete() removes file from disk exists() whether this file exists on disk getName() returns file's name isDirectory() returns whether this object represents a directory length() returns number of bytes in file listFiles() returns a File[] representing files in this directory renameTo(File) changes name of file

Public/private pairs We cannot vary the indentation without an extra parameter: public static void crawl(File f, String indent) { Often the parameters we need for our recursion do not match those the client will want to pass. In these cases, we instead write a pair of methods: 1) a public, non-recursive one with parameters the client wants 2) a private, recursive one with the parameters we really need

Exercise solution // Prints information about this file, // and (if it is a directory) any files inside it. public static void crawl(File f) { crawl(f, ""); // call private recursive helper } // Recursive helper to implement crawl/indent behavior. private static void crawl(File f, String indent) { System.out.println(indent + f.getName()); if (f.isDirectory()) { // recursive case; print contained files/dirs File[] contents = f.listFiles(); for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; i++) { crawl(subFile, indent + " ");
