new to python and I have this assingment: I need to write a recursive function that takes paramaters (aString,nTimes ) and it needs to print the aString parameter the number of times specified by nTimes. I cannot use a for or while loop, just recursion. How would I go about doing this? all i know how to do is get it started and use recursion to call function again.
def printNtimes(aSt ring,nTimes):
I also know how to do it using recursion with one parameter: -
def n_lines(n):
-
if n>0:
-
print "Line"
-
n_lines(n-1)

It's just the same; no big change: - def n_lines(anStr, n):
-
if n>0:
-
print anStr
-
n_lines(anStr, n-1)
-
-
-
n_lines("hello", 5)

A very minor change: - def n_lines(anStr, n):
-
if n:
-
print anStr
-
n_lines(anStr, n-1)

A few questions about the following code. How would I "wrap" this in a
function, and do I need to?
Also, how can I make the code smart enough to realize that when a file
has 2 or more bad charcters in it, that the code needs to run until all
bad characters are gone? For example, if a file has the name
"<bad*mac\file" the program has to run 3 times to get all three bad
chars out of the file name.
The passes look like this:

Greetings.
I want to get everyone's opinion on the use of recursion.
We covered it in class tonight and I want a good solid answer from
people in the "know" on how well recursion is accepted in modern day
applications.
Should we readily use it when we can or only when absolutly forced to
use it?

Hello,
I have a recursive Sierpinski code here.
The code is right and every line works fine by itself. I wish for all of
them to call the function DrawSierpinski. But in this cae it only calls the
first recusive function and at soon as n = 4 its stop. How do I go about so
that all 8 lines get 4 recusion
thanks

Hello all,
I've been messing about for fun creating a trial division factorizing
function and I'm naturally interested in optimising it as much as
possible.
I've been told that iteration in python is generally more
time-efficient than recursion. Is that true?
Here is my algorithm as it stands. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi everyone! I am trying to write a program that will search a 12x12 for a

contains at least one asterisk. If an asterisk is in a blob, an asterisk
that is contiguous to it is in the same blob. If a blob has more than two
asterisks, then each asterisk in the blob is contiguous to at least one
other asterisk in the blob. For example this 12x12 grid has 6 blobs. ...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
