Write a recursive method to return the number of uppercase letters in a string. you need to define the following two methods. the second one is a recursive method. public static int count(string str) public static int count(string str, int high) for example, count("wolfie") returns 4.

Recursive function with two parameters that return the number of uppercase letters in a String

public static int count(String str,int h)//Defining function

{

      if(str.charAt(0)>='A' && str.charAt(0)<='Z')//Checking the characters from A to Z

{

          h++; //incrementing the counter

          if(str.length()>=2){

              return count(str.substring(1),h);//recalling function

          }

      }

      if(str.length()>=2){

              return count(str.substring(1),h); //recalling function

      }

      return h;

  }

This is the recursive function with the name count of return type integer,having parameters str of string type and h of integer type.In this we are checking the characters at a particular position from A to Z.

Recursive function with one parameter that return the number of uppercase letters in a String

public static int count(String str)//Defining function

{

      if(str.charAt(0)>='A' && str.charAt(0)<='Z')//Checking the characters from A to Z

{

          count++; //incrementing the counter

          if(str.length()>=2){

              return count(str.substring(1));//recalling function

          }

      }

      if(str.length()>=2){

              return count(str.substring(1)); //recalling function

      }

      return count;

  }

This is the recursive function with the name count of return type integer,having parameters str of string type .In this we are checking the characters at a particular position from A to Z.

Java program that return the number of uppercase letters in a String

import java.util.*;

public class Myjava{

static int count =0;//Defining globally  

public static int count(String str,int h)//Defining function

{

      if(str.charAt(0)>='A' && str.charAt(0)<='Z')//Checking the characters from A to Z

{

          h++;

//incrementing the counter

          if(str.length()>=2){

              return count(str.substring(1),h);//recalling function

          }

      }

      if(str.length()>=2){

              return count(str.substring(1),h);

//recalling function

      }

      return h;

  }

  public static void main(String[] args)//driver function

  {

      System.out.println("Enter a string");//taking input

      Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

      String s = scan.nextLine();

      int h =0;

      System.out.println("Counting the Uppercase letters: "+count(s,h));

  }

}

Output

Enter a string  WolFIE

Counting the Uppercase letters: 4

i was actually wondering the same thing but i've tried and i don't think you can. i think once you set it up then that's what it stays as. sorry ; -;

answer; i believe the correct answer is layers;
