Recursion: a method (function) calls itself
Characteristics of Recursive Methods:
- Method calls itself.
- When it calls itself, it solves a smaller problem.
- There is a smallest problem that the routine can solve it, and return, without calling itself.
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int theAnswer = triangle(12);
System.out.println("Triangle=" + theAnswer);
}
public static int triangle(int n) {
if (n == 1)
return 1;
else
return (n + triangle(n - 1));
}
}</source>
Triangle=78
Recursion: another example
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double x = 5.0;
System.out.println(x + " to the power 4 is " + power(x, 4));
System.out.println("7.5 to the power 5 is " + power(7.5, 5));
System.out.println("7.5 to the power 0 is " + power(7.5, 0));
System.out.println("10 to the power -2 is " + power(10, -2));
}
// Raise x to the power n
static double power(double x, int n) {
if (n > 1)
return x * power(x, n - 1); // Recursive call
else if (n < 0)
return 1.0 / power(x, -n); // Negative power of x
else
return x;
}
}</source>
5.0 to the power 4 is 625.0 7.5 to the power 5 is 23730.46875 7.5 to the power 0 is 7.5 10 to the power -2 is 0.01
Recursive factorial method
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
for (int counter = 0; counter <= 10; counter++)
System.out.printf("%d! = %d\n", counter, factorial(counter));
}
// recursive declaration of method factorial
public static long factorial(long number) {
if (number <= 1) // test for base case
return 1; // base cases: 0! = 1 and 1! = 1
else
// recursion step
return number * factorial(number - 1);
}
}</source>
0! = 1 1! = 1 2! = 2 3! = 6 4! = 24 5! = 120 6! = 720 7! = 5040 8! = 40320 9! = 362880 10! = 3628800
Recursive fibonacci method
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
// recursive declaration of method fibonacci
public static long fibonacci(long number) {
if ((number == 0) || (number == 1)) // base cases
return number;
else
// recursion step
return fibonacci(number - 1) + fibonacci(number - 2);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (int counter = 0; counter <= 10; counter++)
System.out.printf("Fibonacci of %d is: %d\n", counter, fibonacci(counter));
}
}</source>
Fibonacci of 0 is: 0 Fibonacci of 1 is: 1 Fibonacci of 2 is: 1 Fibonacci of 3 is: 2 Fibonacci of 4 is: 3 Fibonacci of 5 is: 5 Fibonacci of 6 is: 8 Fibonacci of 7 is: 13 Fibonacci of 8 is: 21 Fibonacci of 9 is: 34 Fibonacci of 10 is: 55
Recursive method to find all permutations of a String
<source lang="java">
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
permuteString("", "String");
}
public static void permuteString(String beginningString, String endingString) {
if (endingString.length() <= 1)
System.out.println(beginningString + endingString);
else
for (int i = 0; i < endingString.length(); i++) {
try {
String newString = endingString.substring(0, i) + endingString.substring(i + 1);
permuteString(beginningString + endingString.charAt(i), newString);
} catch (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}</source>
