Question
Consider the following recursive method in Java that determines if
a string is a palindrome (i.e., reads the same forward or backwards) or not:
Public boolean isPalindrome ( String str ){
If( str.length() ≤ 1 )
return true;
else
return ( str.charAt (0) == str.charAt( str.length() – 1 ) &&
isPalindrome( str.substring(1..str.length() - 1)));
} // end of isPalindrome
a. Explain convincingly why the recurrence below for f(n), where n is the length of the string parameter str, is a correct expression for the number of primitive operations
required by a call isPalindrome.
t(0) = Θ(1)
t(1) = Θ(1)
t(?) = t(? − 2) + Θ(1)
b. Show that t(n) = Θ(n), solves the recurrence for t(n) in (a) above.

For example,“deed” and “level” are palindromes. Write an algorithm in pseudocode that testswhether a string is a palindrome. Implement your algorithm as a static method inJava. The method should call itself recursively and determine if the string is apalindrome.Write a main method that reads a string from the user as input and pass it to thestatic method. You need to validate the string and make sure it contains only letters(no digits or special characters are allowed). The main method should displaywhether the string is a palindrome or not. a) Read the string from the user and validate it.b) Create a method that calls itself recursively and returns whether thestring is a palindrome or not.c) Include a test table with at least the following test cases:1. Invalid input. For example, string contains a number or specialcharacter.2. A valid string that is a palindrome.3. A valid string that is not a palindrome.arrow_forwardpublic class Main { static int findPosSum(int A[], int N) { if (N <= 0) return 0; { if(A[N-1]>0) return (findPosSum(A, N - 1) + A[N - 1]); else return findPosSum(A, N - 1); } } public static void main(String[] args) { int demo[] = { 11, -22, 33, -4, 25,12 }; System.out.println(findPosSum(demo, demo.length)); } } Consider the recursive function you wrote in the previous problem.
