Recursive Power MethodWrite a method called powCal that uses recursion to raise a number to a power. The method should accept two arguments: The first argument is the exponent and the second argument is the number to be raised (example” powCal(10,2) means 210). Assume that the exponent is a nonnegative integer. Demonstrate the method in a program called Recursive
(This means that you need to write a program that has at least two methods: main and powCal. The powCal method is where you implement the requirements above and the main method is where you make a method call to demonstrate how your powCal method work).

Question 2:
For two integers m and n, their GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) can be computed by a recursive method. Write a recursive method gcd(m,n) to find their Greatest Common Divisor.
Method body:
If m is 0, the method returns n. If n is 0, the method returns m. If neither is 0, the method can recursively calculate the Greatest Common Divisor with two smaller parameters: One is n, the second one is m mod n (or m % n). The recursive method cannot have loops.
Note: although there are other approaches to calculate Greatest Common Divisor, please follow the instructions in this question, otherwise you will not get the credit.
main method:
Prompt and read in two numbers to find the greatest common divisor.
Call the gcd method with the two numbers as its argument. Print the result to the monitor.
Example program run:
Enter m:
12
Enter n:
28
GCD(12,28) = 4

- 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.arrow_forwardPlease Give answer in C# Write a recursive method which sums all the even numbers up to a given number. For example if you call it with 10, it would return 30 because 10+8+6+4+2=30 Write a RECURSIVE method called sumEven It must take in an int (the max you wish to sum to) It must return an int (the sum) If it's passed in an even number it should sum the number passed in with all the even numbers before it. For example if passed 8, it would sum 8+6+4+2=20 If it's passed an odd number it should still sum only the EVEN numbers. What we mean is that sumEven(9) should return 8+6+4+2=20. Not 9+7+5+3+1. Hint: You'll have an if statement with the base condition, an else if for even and an else if for odd. In the case of odd, just call yourself with the next lowest even number.

If the integer is greater than or equal to 2 do the following: 3. Divide the integer by 2. 4. Separate the result into a quotient and remainder. 5. Divide the quotient again and repeat the process until the quotient is zero. 6. Write down all remainders in reverse order as a string. 7.
