Answer to Question #330703 in C++ for Secret Agent

Question

Poorly Executed Mitosis

by CodeChum Admin

A mitosis program has gone out of hand and now does abnormal cell duplication. Rather than scrapping the project, the researchers decided to observe and predict the cell duplication using a program.

Instructions:

1. In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for the 3 integer inputs required for this program and calls the getResult().
2. This getResult() function has the following details:
3. Return type - int
4. Name - getResult
5. Parameters
6. int - Base integer
7. int - Initial factor
8. int - Number of times to process
9. Description - this is a recursive function which implements the desired behavior explained in the problem description
10. The getResult() function is partially implemented already. Your only task is to add the correct recursive case.

Input

1. Base integer

2. Initial factor

3. Number of times to process

Output

Enter·base·integer:·3
Enter·initial·factor:·2
Enter·number·of·times·to·process:·3
Result·=·54

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int GetResult(int base, int factor, int times)
{
	while (times > 0)
	{
		base *= factor;
		times -= 1;
		return GetResult(base, factor, times);
	}
	return base;
}

int main()
{
	int base, factor, times;
	cout << "Please, enter base integer: ";
	cin >> base;
	cout << "Please, enter factor integer: ";
	cin >>factor;
	cout << "Please, enter times integer: ";
	cin >> times;
	cout << "Result = " << GetResult(base, factor, times);
}
