Problem Statement

Write a C program using recursion to calculate the length of a string.

Input Format

A single line containing a string (no spaces).

Output Format

Print the length of the string.

Constraints

Length <= 100

Sample Input

recursion

Sample Output

9

Explanation

Recursive relation: length(str) = 1 + length(str + 1) with base case pointing to null terminator ''.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int recursiveLength(char *str) {
    // Write your recursive logic here
}

int main() {
    char str[101];
    if (scanf("%100s", str) == 1) {
        printf("%dn", recursiveLength(str));
    }
    return 0;
}

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
