递归的三定律

递归算法必须具有基本情况。
递归算法必须改变其状态并向基本情况靠近。
递归算法必须以递归方式调用自身。

整数转换为任意进制字符串

def toStr(n,base):
   convertString = "0123456789ABCDEF"
   if n < base:
      return convertString[n]
   else:
      return toStr(n//base,base) + convertString[n%base]

print(toStr(1453,16))

栈帧：实现递归字符串转换器

from pythonds.basic.stack import Stack

rStack = Stack()

def toStr(n,base):
    convertString = "0123456789ABCDEF"
    while n > 0:
        if n < base:
            rStack.push(convertString[n])
        else:
            rStack.push(convertString[n % base])
        n = n // base
    res = ""
    while not rStack.isEmpty():
        res = res + str(rStack.pop())
    return res

print(toStr(1453,16))
