Solution Review: Recursive Prime Factors

Explore how to implement and understand recursive functions for prime factorization in C. This lesson guides you through using recursion to break down numbers into their prime factors, enhancing your grasp of recursive logic and control flow in programming.

We'll cover the following...

Solution

See the code given below!

C
#include <stdio.h>
void factorize ( int n ) ;
void factorizeHelper ( int n, int i ) ;
int main( )
{
int num ;
num = 1;
printf ( "Prime factors are: " ) ;
factorize ( num ) ;
return 0 ;
}
void factorize (int n){
if (n == 1){
printf ( "%d ", n) ;
}
else{
factorizeHelper (n , 2);
}
}
void factorizeHelper ( int n, int i )
{
if ( i <= n )
{
if ( n % i == 0 )
{
printf ( "%d ", i ) ;
n = n / i ;
}
else
i++ ;
factorizeHelper ( n, i ) ;
}
}

Explanation

The recursive function, factorize( ), is called from main() to obtain the ...
