(5 pts) What is the ouput of the following function F, for the call int i = F(3)?

int F(int n)

{

int result;

if (n > 20)

return 1;

else

{ result = F(2*n) * 2;

cout << result << \" \";

return result;

}

}

Solution

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int F(int n) //n=3
{
int result;
if (n > 20)
return 1;
else
{
result = F(2*n) * 2; //recursive calls, F(6)*2,F(12)*2*2,F(24)*2*2*2,1*2*2*2=8
cout << result << \" \"; // f(24)*2 = 1*2=2 ,F(12)*2 = 2*2 =4, F(6)*2 = 4*2 =8
return result;
}
}

int main()
{

int i = F(3);
cout<<\"\ i=\"<<i;
   return 0;
}

output:
