7) Python Program to Display Fibonacci Sequence Using Recursion

Fibonacci sequence:

A Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of integers which first two terms are 0 and 1 and all other terms of the sequence are obtained by adding their preceding two numbers.

For example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and so on...

See this example:

def recur_fibo(n):  

   if n <= 1:  

       return n  

   else:  

       return(recur_fibo(n-1) + recur_fibo(n-2))  

# take input from the user  

nterms = int(input("How many terms? "))  

# check if the number of terms is valid  

if nterms <= 0:  

   print("Plese enter a positive integer")  

else:  

   print("Fibonacci sequence:")  

   for i in range(nterms):  

       print(recur_fibo(i))  

8)Python Program to Find Factorial of Number Using Recursion

Factorial:

Factorial of a number specifies a product of all integers from 1 to that number. It is defined by the symbol explanation mark (!).

For example: The factorial of 5 is denoted as 5! = 1*2*3*4*5 = 120.

See this example:

def recur_factorial(n):  

   if n == 1:  

       return n  

   else:  

       return n*recur_factorial(n-1)  

# take input from the user  

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))  

# check is the number is negative  

if num < 0:  

   print("Sorry, factorial does not exist for negative numbers")  

elif num == 0:  

   print("The factorial of 0 is 1")  

else:  

   print("The factorial of",num,"is",recur_factorial(num))
