Recursion is defining something in terms of itself 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 N! = N * (N-1) * (N-2) * … * 3 * 2 * 1 factorial

Recursion -- warning ! public static double factorial(int N) { return N * factorial(N-1); } No base case -- the calls to factorial will never stop! Make sure you have a base case, then worry about the recursive step...

public static double factorial(int N) { if (N < 2) { return 1.0; } else { return N * factorial(N-1); } Recursion: factorial example Base Case Recursive Step shorter?

public static double factorial(int N) { if (N < 2) return 1.0; else return N * factorial(N-1); } Recursion: factorial example Slightly shorter version without curly braces... Even shorter versions soon! Base Case Recursive Step

Recursion -- how it works factorial(5) 5 * factorial(4) 4 * factorial(3) 3 * factorial(2) 2 * factorial(1) * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1.0 is 120.0

Recursion -- why ? Exploits self-similarity Produces short, elegant code Less work ! Skeptical ? use the ? : operator : double factorial(int N) { } thought code the ratio:

Recursion Mantra Let recursion do the work for you. I nodded off at the keyboard and when I woke up, my program was done! I could do that in my sleep! Says stunned CS 5 student: Delighted CodeWarrior user plans on more Sunday night naps!

Recursion for concise coding public static double exp(double x, int n) { if (n < 0) return 0.0; return power(x,n)/fac(n) + exp(x,n-1); } public static void main(String[] args) { double d = exp(2.0,10); }

Recursion with arrays double[] A = { 4, 7, -10, 4, 1 }; sum(A, 0, 4) returns 6.0 sum(A, 3, 4) returns 5.0 Base Case: Recursive Step: array initialization

Recursion with arrays Recursively summing an array: double sum(double[] A, int L, int U)

Recursion -- not just numbers Relationships Self-similarity elsewhere... Natural phenomena Names -- acronyms What is an “ancestor” ? how much stem? GNU

A String of recursive methods RJACKSON GATTACA How many A ’s are in a particular string? Base Case: Recursive Step:

substring String s = “RECURSION”; s.substring(3, 5) is the string “UR” s.substring(0, 3) is the string is the string “ECURSION” is the string “CURSE” Hint Use +

A String of recursive methods int countAs(String s) returns the number of A ’s in the String s

“Quiz” String removeAs(String s) { } returns a string that is the same as s, except without any A ’s boolean isAlph(String s) { } returns true if s is in alphabetical order, false otherwise (ties OK) Names: Extra: what’s a six-letter English word for which isAlph returns true?

“Quiz” double min(double[] A, int L, int U) { write recursive code to return the minimum value in the array A between indices L and U (inclusive). page 2 A A[0]A[4]A[1]A[2]A[3] min(A,0,3) should return 4.2

Recursion can do anything! String removeAs(String s) boolean isAlph(String s) returns true if s is in alphabetical order, false otherwise (ties OK) returns a string that is the same as s, except without any A ’s removeAs(“GATTACA”) returns “GTTC” isAlph(“BART”) returns false isAlph(“LOOPY”) returns false isAlph(“BERT”) returns true

Problem 1 Write recursive methods for double factorial(int N) double power(double b, int N) raises b to the N power double harmonic(int N) adds 1/1 + 1/2 + … + 1/N boolean isPalindrome(String s) true if s is a palindrome; false otherwise String reverse(String s) returns the reversal of s void sort(double[] A, int L, int U) sorts A between index L and U (inclusive) void moveMinToLeft(double[] A, int L, int U) swaps elements so that the smallest element between index L and U is at location L

Problem 1 Create a menu that allows a user to call each method: Welcome to the recursive roster! Options: (1) factorial (2) power (3) harmonic series (4) palindrome checker (5) string reverser (6) min mover (7) list sorter (8) longest common subsequence [Extra] (9) quit each of these will be a recursive method in the CS5App class

Lab Today Extra credit: a biological application Take advantage of us! Given two strings, what is a longest common subsequence? public static String LCS(String s1, String s2) s1 = “hamburger” s2 = “cheeseburger” s1 = “GATTTCAAGTGAC” s2 = “CTTAGACATAGGT” LCS(s1,s2) returns “hburger” LCS(s1,s2) returns “TTCAAGG”

Testing N Ply ‘X’ ‘O’ With a 4-ply lookahead, X will think everything looks equivalent in this case With a 5-ply lookahead, X will know to move to column

Ridiculously short code! Using the ? : operator... double factorial(int n) { return n<2 ? 1 : n*factorial(n-1); } double sum(double[] arr, int L, int H) { return L>H ? 0.0 : arr[L]+sum(arr,L+1,H); }

(Non) deterministic recursion Koch snowflake Deterministic recursion Recursion with randomness

Recursion can do anything! String removeAs(String s) boolean isAlph(String s) returns true if s is in alphabetical order, false otherwise returns a string that is the same as s, except without any A ’s

No base case -- the calls to factorial will never stop! As with mathematical induction, base cases are critical... When writing recursive code Make sure you have a base case ! Check that the base case is correct !! double sum(double[] arr, int L, int H) { return L>H ? 0.0 : arr[L]+sum(arr,L+1,H); } s = “GATTACA”;
