Chapter 5, Problem 38CRP
The factorial of 0 is defined to be 1. The factorial of a positive integer is defined to be the product of that integer times the factorial of the next smaller nonnegative integer. We use the notation n! to express the factorial of the integer n. Thus the factorial of 3 (written 3!) is 3 × (2!) = 3 × (2 × (1!)) = 3 × (2 × (1 × (0!))) = 3 × (2 × (1 × (1))) = 6.

Factorial of a number is defined as: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)...(2)(1) For example, 4! = 4*3*2*1 The n! can be written in terms of (n-1)! as:
n! = n* (n-1)!
(n-1)! = (n-1)*(n-2)
! and so forth. Thus, in order to compute n!, we need (n-1)!, to have (n-1)!, we need (n-2)! and so forth. As you may immediately notice, the base case for factorial is 1 because 1! = 1. Write a program that uses a recursive function called factorial that takes an integer n as its argument and returns n! to the main.

In mathematics, a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers, i.e. is it has only two factors 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself.Note that the prime number series is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, …a. Write a Java method named isPrime that takes a natural number as a parameter and returns the if the given number is prime or not using the following header: Public static boolean isPrime(int num) b. Write a Java class called PrimeNumbers that: o Reads from the user a natural value n (should be less than or equal 200). o Prints a list of the prime numbers from 2 to n and their number and values. o The program has to work EXACTLY as given in the following sample run.
Given L = {w = {a, b}*: |w| is even}, the correct statements are:
(aa U ab Uba U bb)* is a regular expression that generates L.
(ab Uba)* is a regular expression that generates L.
aa U ab U ba U bb is a regular expression that generates L.
ab U ba is a regular expression that generates L.

A number is a digit palindromic if its first digit is the same as its last digit.
