Tutorial 4 - Methods
1. Write a program that reads a positive integer. The program then passes the integer to a
method to determine and return the result if it is a prime number. The answer is displayed
on screen.
2. Write a program that store all the 26 alphabet (a z) into an array of char. Randomly pick an
alphabet from the array and ask the user to guess the picked alphabet. Show appropriate
message (Correct or Wrong) based on the input. User is given maximum of 3 guesses
before the program shows the correct answer.

return 1367. Display the answer in main().

the series requested by the user and display the value accordingly. Use the recursive method
to calculate and return the value of the position required by the user. For example, if the
user wishes to know the value of position 7 on the series, the recursive method will return
16.

where x1 is the fiftieth (50th) value on the first series and x2 = x1-3, x3 = x2-3 and so on.
Write a program with main method and two recursive methods for these two series. The first
recursive method returns the 50th value of the first series. The second recursive method
returns the value for x100. The second recursive method makes use of the first recursive
method to find out the value for x1. Invoke the second recursive method in the main method
do display the value for x100.
