Question: (a) Design a recursive algorithm for computing 2n for any nonnegative integer n that is based on the definition twoto (n) = 1 if n
(a) Design a recursive algorithm for computing 2n for any nonnegative integer n that is based on the definition twoto (n) =
1 if n = 0
[twoto n^2]^2 if n mod 2 = 0
2 twoto (n 1) if n mod 2 not = 0.
Your algorithm should minimize the number of required multiplications.
(b) How many multiplications are made in the computation of twoto (19)?
