Hi,
it is not quite clear from the examples, what should be achieved (I
guess, the actual computation is probably mor complex).
I'd probably approach an iterative computation iteratively, rather
than recursively;
e.g. simply:

def compute_iteratively(starting_value, number_of_iterations):
    tmp = starting_value
    for i in range(number_of_iterations):
        tmp = tmp + 1
    return tmp

print(compute_iteratively(starting_value=7, number_of_iterations=3))

hth,
 vbr
