Transform iterative function into recursive function-CodePudding

def solowayAverage():
    number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    sum = 0
    count = 0
    while number != 99999:
        if (number >= 0):
            sum  = number
            count  = 1
        number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    print("The average is: ", sum / count)
#iterative code

solowayAverage()

def solowayaveragerec(n, sum, count):
    if n !=99999 and n>0:
        sum  = n
        count  = 1
    else:
    return  solowayaveragerec(n, sum, count)

number = int(input("Give me a number: "))
solowayaveragerec(number, 0, 0)
#recursive code non completed

I would need help to make the recursive code work. The problem is that I don't know where to insert the call for the function in the recursive part

CodePudding user response：

You should make the recursive call with the new number added to the sum and the count added with 1:

def solowayaveragerec(sum=0, count=0):
    number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
    if number == 99999:
        print("The average is: ", sum / count)
    else:
        solowayaveragerec(sum   number, count   1)

solowayaveragerec()
