Question
Transcribed Image Text:Find the logic error(s) in the following recursive function, and explain how to
correct it (them). This function should find the sum of the values from 0 to n.
In [3]: def sum (n):
if n == 0:
...:
return 0
else:
return n + sum (n)
Expert Solution
Check Markarrow_forward
Step 1
def sum(n):
if n == 0:
return 0
else:
return n + sum(n)
Logical errors are
If n == 0 then return 0 is fine
What if n is less then 0
So use condition like if n<=0
If(n<=0)
return n;
else
return n+sum(n) ;
Here instead of sum(n) use sum(n-1)
So it will used all but one number every time else it keep on adding same number
Use like this
return n + sum(n-1) ;
So it will add every recursion time
n means last number
and n-1 is last but one number

- There are two important parts to every simple recursive function: the base case, and the recursive call that makes progress towards the base case. Something that can go wrong with recursion when it is used incorrectly is a stack overflow. Explain two different ways that a recursive function could be written incorrectly that could lead to stack overflow. Hint: one has something to do with the base case, and the other with the recursive call. 1. Enter your answer here 2.
