C.O.A.L Bushra's Project 2312114

The project proposal outlines the implementation of stack frames and recursive procedures to calculate the factorial of a number using C++. It aims to demonstrate stack manipulation, parameter passing, and recursion, providing hands-on experience with computer organization concepts. The expected outcome includes a functional program and a clear understanding of stack operations during recursive calls.

Project Proposal: Implementation of


Stack Frame and Recursive Procedures

Objective
To develop a simple program that demonstrates the working of
stack frames and recursive procedures using basic concepts of
computer organization, such as parameter passing, stack
manipulation, and recursion.

Problem Statement

Understanding how stack frames operate during function calls,


particularly recursive functions, is a fundamental concept in
computer science. This project will focus on simulating the
working of stack frames, parameter passing by value and
reference, and recursion to calculate the factorial of a number
using C++.

Scope of the Project


Demonstrate the creation and usage of stack frames.

Implement parameter passing by value and reference.


Use recursive functions to compute a factorial
Visualize stack changes during function calls and returns

Development Environment: Code∷Blocks or Visual Studio


Concepts Used: Stack operations, recursive calls, parameter
passing

1. Methodology

1. Initialize the Program: Create a main function to accept user


input.

2. Implement Stack Frame Simulation: Use C++ to simulate


parameter passing and stack manipulation.

3. Implement Recursive Function: Write a recursive function to


compute the factorial of a number.

4. Debug and Test: Test the program with multiple inputs to


ensure accurate functionality.
Code: Recursive Factorial Calculation

Code: Recursive Factorial Calculation


#include <iostream>
Using namespace std;
// Function prototype
Int factorial(int n);
Int main() {
Int number;
// User input
Cout ≪ “Enter a positive integer to calculate its factorial: “;
Cin ≫ number;
If (number < 0) {
Cout ≪ “Factorial is not defined for negative numbers.” ≪
endl;
Return 1;
}
// Calculate factorial
Int result = factorial(number);
// Display result
Cout ≪ “The factorial of “ ≪ number ≪ “ is: “ ≪ result ≪ endl;
Return 0;
}
// Recursive function to calculate factorial
Int factorial(int n) {
If (n == 0) {
Return 1; // Base case
}
Return n * factorial(n – 1); // Recursive case
}

Expected Outcome

A working program that calculates the factorial of a number using


recursion.
A demonstration of stack manipulation during recursive calls.
Clear understanding of stack frames and parameter passing.

conclusion
this project provides hands on experience in
implementing stack based operations and
recursive functions it will enhance the
understanding of computer organization concepts
and their practical applications in programming
