Question

Consider a frame of bowling pins where each * represents a pin: There are five rows and a total of fifteen pins. If we had only the top four rows then there would be a total of 10 pins. If we had only the top three rows then there would be a total of 6 pins. If we had only the top two rows then there would be a total of 3 pins. If we had only the top row then there would be a total of 1 pin. Write a recursive function that takes as input the number of rows n and outputs the total number of pins that would exist in a pyramid with n rows. Your program should allow for values of n that are larger than 5. Program Must Be Recursive!

Explanation / Answer

#include using namespace std; int bowlingsPins(int n){ int sum=n; if(n==0){ return 0; } return sum+bowlingsPins(n-1); } int main(){ cout
