Write a recursive function named get_palindromes (words) that takes a list of words as a parameter. The function should return a list of all the palindromes in the list. The function returns an
empty list if there are no palindromes in the list or if the list is empty. For example, if the list is ["racecar", "hello", "noon", "goodbye"], the function should return ["racecar", "noon"].
A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards.
Note: The get_palindromes() function has to be recursive; you are not allowed to use loops to solve this problem.
For example:
Test
words = ["racecar", "hello", "noon", "goodbye", "test", 'aibohphobia'] ['racecar', 'noon', 'aibohphobia']
print (get_palindromes (words))
print (get_palindromes ([]))
print (get_palindromes (['this', 'is', 'test']))
Answer: (penalty regime: 0, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 %)

- Sorting and Searching Project Problem Statement for Sorting and Searching Project Design a program that will take an unsorted list of names and use the Insertion Sort algorithm to sort them. The program then asks the user to enter names to see if they are on the list. The program will use the recursive Binary Search algorithm to see if the name is in the list. The search should be enclosed in a loop so that the user can ask for names until they enter the sentinel value 'quit' Design Considerations The main program will provide an unsorted list of names. The list will be sorted using the Insertion Sort algorithm. Once the list is sorted, the user will provide names to search for in the list. The search will be conducted using the Recursive Binary Search Algorithm. A message will be printed displaying whetherthe name was found or not found on the list. This last part will be done inside a loop where the user will enter 'quit' when they are done searching for names.
