Question 19 (Algorithmic problem)
Write a RECURSIVE function that, given a text (as a string), returns the same text with vowels replaced with a hyphen (-). See the examples given below (doctests)
Note: No marks will be awarded for non-recursive implementations.
def remove_vowels(text): """ Input: a string of text Output: the same text with vowels removed Examples: >>> remove_vowels('this text') 'th-s t-xt' >>> remove_vowels('Python') 'Pyth-n' >>> remove_vowels('') '' >>> remove_vowels('Apple') '-ppl-' >>> remove_vowels('myths') 'myths' """
6) Write a recursive function to calculate the summation of numbers from 1 to n. For exampleif the user enters 5, your program would add 1+2+3+4+5 and print out the answer 15.7) Write a recursive program to calculate Fibonacci numbers. Use the definition of a Fibonaccinumber where F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2).
use java to code
Write a program that implements a recursive algorithm that prints the factorial of the first 10 digits (1 to 10 and it is optional if you would like to include 0). The program must use a recursive algorithm and can be implemented in Java.

- Write a java recursive program to solve the "Missionaries and Cannibals" problem:Three missionaries and three cannibals come to a river and find a boat that holds two. If the cannibals ever outnumber the missionaries on either bank, the missionaries will be eaten. How might they cross safely? Input a character from the keyboard either a c (cannibal) or m (missionary). Check case and error check inputs. The output should include the initial problem, the moves you make, and a "picture" of the current state of the puzzle after each move (round). The final output should include the total number of rounds needed to solve the problem. Finally, ask the user if they wish to run the program again. The program must use recursion as part of the solution. Refer to the sample output below.
