*   These functions work by any input that is provided. For a function demonstrating it.
*   Please look at the second source file at the post of the question on stack overflow.
*   It also includes an answer for implenting it using recursion if that is your favored
*   way of doing it. I personally do not feel comfortable working with recursion so that is
*   why I went with the implementation that I have included.
