# Lab 7 - Exercise 1 - Problem 2

def magic(aNumber, aSymbol):
   print(aSymbol * aNumber)
   if aNumber > 1 :
     magic(aNumber-1, aSymbol)
     print(aSymbol * aNumber)
   return

# Main part of the program
magic( 6, "*")
print("Wow!")

# a) Base case is implicit (i.e., not written in the program) -> "if aNumber <= 1 : return"
#    Recursive case -> "magic(aNumber-1, aSymbol)"

# b) How many times is the function magic( ) called? 6 times
