Java

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards or backwards; for example dad, mom, deed (i. e., reversing a palindrome produces the same string ). Write a recursive, boolean -valued method , isPalindrome that accepts a string and returns whether the string is a palindrome.

A string , s, is a palindrome if:

s is the empty string or s consists of a single letter (which reads the same back or forward), or

the first and last characters of s are the same, and the rest of the string (i. e., the second through next-to-last characters ) form a palindrome.
