Palindrome Detector

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.

In Java code do the following:Write a method that accepts a String as an argument. The method should use recursion to display each individual character in the String:
If your first name starts with a letter from A-J inclusively:   Write a recursive method that takes a string as argument and determines if the string has more vowels than consonants. Test the method by asking the user to enter a string. Hint: Write your recursive method to first count vowels and consonants.
Repeating String Write a method that takes a String and an int and return a String that is the original String repeated n times. For example, repeatString("Famous", 3) should return "FamousFamousFamous" The method signature should be public String repeatString(String str, int n)   public String repeatString(String str, int n) { //declare a string variable   //set up statements for repeating n number of times         //create the appropriate return statement   }
