Exercise

Counting numbers recursively

In this first exercise, you will start with a math function to count numbers recursively. It is the series from 1 to target and in this case your target value is 50.

This means the task is to count from 1 to 50 using a recursive query. The video showed you the pseudo-code version, and now it's your turn to write it in real code! You will have to define:

  1. The CTE with the definition of the initial and recursive query
  2. The appropriate termination condition for the recursion

Instructions

100 XP
  • Define the CTE with the name counting_numbers.
  • Initialize number in the initial query.
  • Add 1 to number each recursion step.
  • Limit the recursion step to 50 in the recursive query.
