What is recursion?
A programming language feature
An iterative technique
A technique where a function calls itself
A data structure
Which of the following is an example of recursion?
Sorting an array
Finding the maximum element in an array
Calculating the factorial of a number
Searching for an element in a linked list
Which of the following is an example of iterative technique?
Tower of Hanoi
GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) calculation
Fibonacci series generation
Binomial coefficient calculation
What is the main difference between iterative and recursive functions?
Recursive functions use less memory than iterative functions.
Recursive functions are faster than iterative functions.
Recursive functions use a stack for function calls, while iterative functions use loops.
Recursive functions can only be used for linear data structures.
Primitive data structures are built-in data types provided by programming languages.
True
False
Recursive techniques can be used to solve problems like calculating Fibonacci numbers, finding the greatest common divisor (GCD), computing binomial coefficients (nCr), and solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle.
True
False
Which of the following is a common approach to measure the performance of an algorithm?
Time complexity analysis
Space complexity analysis
Experimental measurement
All of the above
What is the main difference between linear and non-linear data structures?
Linear data structures can only store one type of data, while non-linear data structures can store multiple types of data.
Linear data structures have a fixed size, while non-linear data structures can dynamically resize.
Linear data structures organize data in a sequential manner, while non-linear data structures organize data in a hierarchical or interconnected manner.
Linear data structures can only be accessed from one end, while non-linear data structures can be accessed from multiple points.
Which of the following time complexities represents the fastest growth rate?
In terms of time complexity, which operation is the most efficient in an array?
In terms of space complexity, how does recursion typically compare to iteration?
Recursion uses less space than iteration.
Recursion uses more space than iteration.
Recursion and iteration use the same amount of space.
The space complexity of recursion and iteration depends on the specific problem.
Which recursion technique is used to solve the Towers of Hanoi problem?
Linear recursion
Binary recursion
Tail recursion
Divide and conquer recursion
