// Here are the solutions to the warmup problems given in Assignment 3.

/*
 * Function: PrintInBinary
 * -----------------------
 * Uses recursion to print the binary representation (base-two) of 
 * a given number. The parameter is expected to be non-negative.
 */
void PrintInBinary(int number)
{
	if (number > 1)
		PrintInBinary(number/2);	// recursively print rest of binary digits
	cout << (number % 2);			// now print least signficant binary digit
}



/* 
 * Function: RecSum
 * ----------------
 * Recursive function to explore all possible subsets in attempt to
 * find one that sums to target value.   The parameters are the vector 
 * of numbers, the index of the next element to consider, the sum so far, 
 * and the target value.  If the sum so far is equal to the target, we
 * have found the desired subset and can immediately return true.
 * If we have run out of elements to try, we return false.  Otherwise, 
 * take the next vector element and try it both in and out, stopping as soon
 * as we find a successful subset. This in-out pattern is commonly
 * used for any sort of subset/power-set exploration.

		// recursive case, try next element both in and out of the sum
	return RecSum(nums, index+1, sumSoFar, target) ||  
		   RecSum(nums, index+1, sumSoFar+nums[index], target);

}

/* 
 * Function: AltRecSum
 * -------------------
 * Same goal as function RecSum described above, but uses a different
 * recursive pattern to compute result.  Instead of considering one
 * element at each call and trying it both in/out, this version 
 * chooses an element to add on each call by picking one of the
 * remaining elements and discarding any elements in between.
 * This is the choose-one-of-remaining pattern, such as used
 * for generating permutations.

/* 
 * Function: CanMakeSum
 * --------------------
 * Given an vector of numbers and a target sum, reports whether any
 * subset of the numbers in the array sum to that target.  This is
 * just a wrapper for the recursive function RecSum (or could call
 * AltRecSum for same result).
