Question
The usual definition of a palindrome is a word that reads the same both forward and backward, like “otto” and “palindromeemordnilap.” An alternative way to define a property like this is to specify a way of testing for the property. For example, we might say, “a single letter is a palindrome, and a two-letter word is a palindrome if the letters are the same, and any other word is a palindrome if the first letter is the same as the last and the middle is a palindrome.”
Write a recursive method named isPalindrome that takes a String and that returns a boolean indicating whether the word is a palindrome or not.

- Java - Encapsulation A rectangle can be formed given two points, the top left point and the bottom right point. Assuming that the top left corner of the console is point (0, 0), the bottom right corner of the console is point (MAX, MAX) and given two points (all “x” and “y” coordinates are positive), you should be able to draw the rectangle in the correct location, determine if it is a square or a rectangle, and compute for its area, perimeter and center point. To be able to do this, you should create a class Point (that has an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate). Also, create another class called Rectangle. The Rectangle should have 2 points, the top left and the bottom right. You should also implement the following methods for the Rectangle: display() - draws the rectangle on the console based on the samplearea() - computes and returns the area of a given rectangleperimeter() - computes and returns the perimeter of a given rectanglecenterPoint() - computes and returns the center point…arrow_forward#this is a python programtopic: operation overloading, Encapsulation please find the attached imagearrow_forwardattached belowarrow_forward
- What is the best way to go about this whole code with the given instructions?arrow_forwardKingdom of Trolls is celebrating their Kingdom Day and one of the activities that is taking place is a game where a player rolls a magic ball down the hill on a path with spikes. As the ball rolls down, it strikes a spike and bursts open to release a number of smaller balls (in our simulated game, the number of smaller balls is a randomly generated integer between 2 and 6, inclusive). As the smaller balls further roll down, when one strikes a spike, that ball and all its sibling balls burst and each generates another set of smaller balls (using the same random number already generated for the first roll). The balls keep rolling downhill and striking spikes and bursting into smaller balls until a golden ball is released by one of the bursts. At this time, the game is over and the player is told how many balls were generated during the last burst (including the golden ball). The game is played by two players at a time and the player who had the lowest number of balls generated on the…arrow_forwardJAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE PLEASE.

- Coupon collector is a classic statistic problem with many practical applications. The problem is to pick objects from a set of objects repeatedly and determine how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once. A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another. Write a program to simulate the number of picks needed to get four cards from each suit and display the four cards picked (it is possible that a card may be picked twice).arrow_forwardLet's begin with a lesson in roulette. Roulette is a casino game that involves spinning a ball on a wheel that is marked with numbered squares that are red, black, or green. Half of the numbers 1–36 are colored red and half are black and the numbers 0 and 00 are green. Each number occurs only once on the wheel. We can make many different types of bets, but two of the most common are to bet on a single number (1–36) or to bet on a color (either red or black). These will be the two bets we will consider in this project. After all players place their bets on the table, the wheel is spun and the ball tossed onto the wheel. The pocket in which the ball lands on the wheel determines the winning number and color. The ball can land on only one color and number at a time. We begin by placing a bet on a number between 1 and 36. This bet pays 36 to 1 in most casinos, which means we will be paid $36 for each $1 we bet on the winning number. If we lose, we simply lose whatever amount of money we…arrow_forwardLet's begin with a lesson in roulette.

- Ro-Sham-Bo. Believe it or not, the classic game of Rock-PaperScissors has many other names. One of them is Ro-Sham-Bo. For this assignment, “Ro” will represent “Rock”, “Sham” will represent Paper, and “Bo” will represent Scissors. You will create a RoshamboPlayer class. It will have three attributes: PlayerName: String RoLimit: int ShamBoLimit: int It will also have an overloaded constructor that sets those three values. It will have two functions: playRound that takes in a string and returns a boolean value, and getName that takes in nothing and returns the PlayerName string. In your driver class for this assignment, you will create two RoshamboPlayer objects with the following values: p1: RoLimit == 30, ShamBoLimit == 60 p2: RoLimit = 40, ShamBoLimit = 85 You may name them whatever you like. You will prompt the user to choose one of these two to play against. Then you will create a loop that prompt the user to either play a round of Roshambo, or quit the game. If the user chooses…arrow_forwardThere are three main operations on rectangles: intersection, union, and difference. Among them, only intersection is guaranteed to return another rectangle. In general, the union of two rectangles is... two rectangles, and the difference between two rectangles is ... a whole lot of rectangles, as we will see. We let you implement rectangle intersection. Of course, the intersection is defined only if the rectangles have the same number of dimensions. The intersection is computed by taking the intersection of the intervals of the two rectangles for corresponding dimensions. If one of the intervals is empty, you should return None.

One player writes a short story in which some words are replacedby blanks. For each word that is removed, the appropriate part of speech is noted: e.g. noun (person/-place/thing), adjective (word that describes a noun), verb (an action, e.g. eat), adverb (modifies a verb, e.g.quickly). Then, before reading the story, the story-writer asks the other player to write down a word of theappropriate part of speech for each blank without knowing the context in which it will be used. In this way,a humorous (sometimes) or non-sensical (usually) story is created a)arrow_forward
