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.

When using an analogy involving a blueprint and a tree house, the ____________ is the class, and the ____________ is an object created from it. a. blueprint, tree house b. tree house, blueprint

In the game Rock paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors. If both players choose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is determined as follows: Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors. Scissors beats paper, because scissors can cut paper. Paper beats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock. Create a game in which the computer randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors. Let the user enter a character, r, p, or s, each representing one of the three choices. Then, determine the winner. Save the application as RockPaperScissors.cs.

a. Write a FractionDemo program that instantiates several Fraction objects and demonstrates that their methods work correctly. Create a Fraction class with fields that hold a whole number, a numerator, and a denominator. In addition: Create properties for each field. The set access or for the denominator should not allow a 0 value; the value defaults to 1. Add three constructors. One takes three parameters for a whole number, numerator, and denominator. Another accepts two parameters for the numerator and denominator; when this constructor is used, the whole number value is 0. The last constructor is parameterless; it sets the whole number and numerator to 0 and the denominator to 1. (After construction, Fractions do not have to be reduced to proper form. For example, even though 3/9 could be reduced to 1/3, your constructors do not have to perform this task.) Add a Reduce() method that reduces a Fraction if it is in improper form. For example, 2/4 should be reduced to 1/2. Add an operator+() method that adds two Fractions. To add two fractions, first eliminate any whole number part of the value. For example, 2 1/4 becomes 9/4 and 1 3/5 becomes 8/5. Find a common denominator and convert the fractions to it. For example, when adding 9/4 and 8/5, you can convert them to 45/20 and 32/20. Then you can add the numerators, giving 77/20. Finally, call the Reduce() method to reduce the result, restoring any whole number value so the fractional part of the number is less than 1. For example, 77/20 becomes 3 17/20. Include a function that returns a string that contains a Fraction in the usual display format—the whole number, a space, the numerator, a slash (D, and a denominator. When the whole number is 0, just the Fraction part of the value should be displayed (for example, 1/2 instead of 0 1/2). If the numerator is 0, just the whole number should be displayed (for example, 2 instead of 2 0/3). b. Add an operator*() method to the Fraction class created in Exercise 11a so that it correctly multiplies two Fractions. The result should be in proper, reduced format. Demonstrate that the method works correctly in a program named FractionDemo2. c. Write a program named FractionDem03 that includes an array of four Fractions. Prompt the user for values for each. Display every possible combination of addition results and every possible combination of multiplication results for each Fraction pair (that is, each type will have 16 results).
