Question
JAVA Program 
 
modify this program below: so it does not use a while loop. Instead it uses recursive method that doesn't copy the string over and over again. 
 

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PalindromeChecker {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        while (true) {
            System.out.print("Please enter a string to test for palindrome or type QUIT to exit:\n");
            String input = scanner.nextLine().toLowerCase();

            if (input.equals("quit")) {
                break;
            }

            if (isPalindrome(input)) {
                System.out.println("The input is a palindrome.");
            } else {
                System.out.println("The input is not a palindrome.");
            }
        }
    }

    private static boolean isPalindrome(String str) {
        str = str.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");

        int left = 0;
        int right = str.length() - 1;

        while (left < right) {
            if (str.charAt(left) != str.charAt(right)) {
                return false;
            }
            left++;
            right--;
        }

        return true;
    }
}

 
Chapter 16. PC #5. Palindrome Detector (page 1073)
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.
The program should ask the user to enter a string, which is checked for palindrome property. The program displays whether the given input is a palindrome or not, then prompts the user to enter another string. If the user enters QUIT (case insensitive, then exit the program).
