Writing a recursive method

Write #1

factorial(n) Write a method factorial that accepts an integer parameter n and that uses recursion to compute and return the value of n factorial (also known as n!).

• e.g. fact(4) = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24

Write #2

reverse(s) Write a method reverse that accepts a string as a parameter and then returns the reverse of the string by reversing all letters and all words in the string.

• e.g. reverse("hello world") = "dlrow olleh"

Write #3

bunny(n) Write a method bunny that accepts an integer parameter n. N represents a number of bunnies and each bunny has two big floppy ears. We want to compute the total number of ears across all the bunnies recursively (without loops or multiplication).

• e.g. bunny(0) = 0
• e.g. bunny(1) = 2
• e.g. bunny(10) = 20

Write #4

nested(s) Write a method nested that accepts a string of only parenthesis and then returns if those parenthesis are properly nested. You may assume that no non-paren characters will be passed to this method.

• e.g. nested("((()))") = true
• e.g. nested("())") = false

Added Fun

fib(n)

Write a recursive method fib that accepts an integer n as a parameter and returns the nth fibonacci number.

• e.g. fib(4) = (1 1 2) 3 = 3

pal(s)

Write a recursive method pal that accepts a string s as a parameter and returns a boolean value indicating if that string is a palindrome or not.

• e.g. pal("racecar") = true
• e.g. pal("smile") = false
