The above debug approach requires an extra parameter to be passed to indicate the
amount of indentation.

Each recursive call should add a few spaces to the indent parameter.

The function should remove a few spaces from the indent parameter before returning.
True - answerA recursive function with parameter n counts up from any negative
number to 0. An appropriate base case would be n == 0.
True - answerA recursive function can have two base cases, such as n == 0 returning 0,
and n == 1, returning 1.
False - answern factorial (n!) is commonly implemented as a recursive function due to
being easier to understand and executing faster than a loop implementation.
True - answerIn the code below, suppose str1 is a pointer or reference to a string. The
code only executes in constant time if the assignment copies the pointer/reference, and
not all the characters in the string.
srt2 = str1
, True - answerCertain hardware may execute division more slowly than multiplication,
but both may still be constant time operations.
False - answerThe hardware running the code is the only thing that affects what is and
what is not a constant time operation.
True - answerComputational complexity analysis allows the efficiency of algorithms to
be compared.
False - answerTwo different algorithms that produce the same result have the same
computational complexity.
False - answerRuntime and memory usage are the only two resources making up
computational complexity.
False - answerNearly every algorithm has a best-case time complexity when N = 0.
False - answerAn algorithm's best and worst case scenarios are always different.
