{
if (a == null) return false;
else if (a.length( ) = = 1 | | (a.length( ) = = 2 && a.charAt(0) = = a.charAt(1) ) ) return True;
else if (a.length( ) = = 2 && a.charAt(0) != a.charAt(1) ) return false;
else if (a.charAt(0) == a.charAt(a.length( ) - 1) )
return patternRecognizer(a.substring(1, a.length( ) - 1) ) ;
else return false;
}
