Java Quiz

Question 1

Method A invokes method A itself. This is called _________.

indirect recursion
explicit recursion
direct recursion
one-step recursion

Question 2

What are the base cases in the following recursive method?

public static void recurse(int n)
{
if (n > 0)
{
System.out.print(n % 10);
recurse(n / 10);
}
}

n < 0
n <= 0
n > 0
no base cases

Question 4

Analyze the following recursive method and indicate which of the following will be true.

public static long factorial(int n)
{
return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

Invoking factorial(2) returns 2.
Invoking factorial(1) returns 1.
The method runs infinitely and causes a StackOverflowError.
Invoking factorial(0) returns 0.

return 1;
else
return _____________;
}

n * (n - 1)
n
n * factorial(n - 1)
factorial(n - 1) * (n - 1)
