Please let me know solution to these 2 problems of ‘time to try’. Solution is not available.

Hey @anuj_it

Method

  1. If x is less than y, swap the two variables value
  2. Recursively find y times the sum of x
  3. If any of them become zero, return 0

Code
function:
int product( int x, int y)

{

// if x is less than

// y swap the numbers

if (x < y)

return product(y, x);

// iteratively calculate

// y times sum of x

else if (y != 0)

return (x + product(x, y - 1));

// if any of the two numbers is

// zero return zero

else

return 0;

}

Approach:
Write a recursive function that will take the first digit of the string and multiply it with the appropriate power of 10 and then add the recursive result for the substring starting at the second index. The termination condition will be when the passed string consists of a single digit. In that case, return the digit represented by the string.

Code:
int stringToInt(string str)

{

// If the number represented as a string

// contains only a single digit

// then returns its value

if (str.length() == 1)

return (str[0] - '0' );

// Recursive call for the sub-string

// starting at the second character

double y = stringToInt(str.substr(1));

// First digit of the number

double x = str[0] - '0' ;

// First digit multiplied by the

// appropriate power of 10 and then

// add the recursive result

// For example, xy = ((x * 10) + y)

x = x * pow (10, str.length() - 1) + y;

return int (x);
