Question

Knowledge Exercises State the definition of recursion. True or false: All algorithms can be stated recursively. Some algorithms can only be stated recursively. For most people, recursive algorithms are more difficult to discover and understand than no recursive algorithms. All recursive algorithms must have an escape clause. Recursive algorithms, if not properly coded, can terminate with a stack overflow error; if true, why? The menu of luan's Taco Tower states "when ordering a Sombrero Meal you get a taco, and a soda, and your choice of an ice cream sundae or a Sombrero Meal." What part of the Sombrero Meal's description is recursive? What is the base case (escape clause) in die description of a Sombrero Meal? c Can I order a Sombrero Meal consisting of: 1 taco, I soda, and 1 ice cream sundae? 2 tacos, 1 soda, and I ice cream sundae? 2 tacos, 3 sodas, and 1 ice cream sundae? 1 taco and 1 soda? 1 taco, 1 soda, and 2 ice cream sundaes?

Explanation / Answer

2a. False. 2b. True. 2c. True. 2d. True. 2e. True. The reason is the recursive function will keepcalling other recursive function with no terminating condition andthat will make the computer run out of memory.
3a. At the end when it says or a Sombrero Meal. 3b. Ice Cream Sundae. c1. yes,
