In Class Recursion
A few weeks ago, we wrote a program for a
Fraction Class. We wrote a function to find the greatest common divisor
of two numbers, using a loop. Can we
write this recursively?
Euclid's
algorithm for finding
the greatest common
divisor of two integers is the following:
The greatest common
divisor of two integers m and n with m > n can be defined as follows:
n, if n divides m evenly
otherwise, it is the same as the greatest common divisor of n and m mod n
1. ON PAPER, write the
recursive algorithm, describing the base case(s) and recursive case(s)
carefully.
2. Code the solution in
C++.
