The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidelines.

Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.

Suppose I have to add a pile of numbers; I divide the pile in two smaller piles and
let two other people do it; when they're ready I add just the two sums together.
Everybody can add just two numbers together and there's nothing to be done
when you only have one number.

kind regards,

Jos

One way to divide the pile is by making sure that one of the entries to the recursive function is a single number. The other entries are the pile of numbers and the total count.

If the single number is taken from the bottom of the pile, you just have to decrement the total count and can leave the pile of numbers unchanged.

Once you have total count = 1, then you can add two numbers together and return their value. Recursion takes care of the rest.
