Chapter 5, Problem 11PE
Write a recursive method
public static boolean isPalindrome(String str)
that returns true if str is a palindrome, that is, a word that is the same when reversed. Examples of palindrome are “deed”, “rotor”, or “aibohphobia”. Hint: A word is a palindrome if the first and last letters match and the remainder is also a palindrome.

Write a recursive method in java that returns a string that contains the octal representation of a positive integer. Test your method.
Hint: An octal number is the base-8 number system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. For example, the number 12 can be converted to octal number as follows:
Divide by 8, the remainder represents the first digit so 12/8 = 1 and the remainder is 4 so the first digit is 4. The quotient is 1. Then we divide 1 over 8 we get zero and the remainder is 1. The second digit is 1 and we stop.
The equivalent octal number for 12 is 14.

A palindrome is any word, phrase, or sentence that reads the same forward and backward.
Here are some well-known palindromes:
Able was I ere I saw Elba
A man a plan a canal Panama
Desserts I stressed
Kayak
Write a boolean method that uses recursion to determine whether a String argument is a palindrome. The method should return true if the argument reads the same forward and backward.
Demonstrate the method in a program.
JAVA
A Matryoshka, or Russian nesting doll is either solid or hollow. If it is hollow, it contains another doll (which can also be hollow or solid). Given the supplied Doll class, implement a recursive method named show that returns a String representing the chain for dolls, for example
Natasha contains Tanya contains Peter
public class Doll{ private String name; private Doll dollInside;
/** * Constructs a hollow doll with the doll it contains. */ public Doll(String theName, Doll theDoll) { name = theName; dollInside = theDoll; }
/** * Constucts a solid doll. */ public Doll(String theName) { name = theName; dollInside = null; }
public boolean isSolid() { return dollInside == null; } public String getName() { return name; } public Doll getDollInside() { return dollInside; }}
public class DollViewer{ public static String show(Doll d) {

- Write a Non tail recursion and a tail recursion method in Java with a test class that does the following: The factorial of a positive integer n —which we denote as n!—is the product of n and the factorial of n 1. The factorial of 0 is 1. Write two different recursive methods in Java that each return the factorial of n.
