Solution Preview

Following two algorithms have been expressed in C-style pseudocode.

function iterativeWay ()
{
// For the first day salary is 1 penny.
salaryForDay = 1
day = 1

while (day <= 30)
{
print day, " - ", salaryForDay;

// Be ready for next iteration/day
day = day + 1
salaryForDay = 2 * salaryForDay
}
}

function recursiveWay (day, salaryForDay)
{
if (day <= 30)
{
print day, " - ", ...
