Write a RECURSIVE method writeChars that accepts an integer parameter n and that prints out n characters as follows. The middle character of the output should always be an asterisk ("*"). If you are asked to write out an even number of characters, then there will be two asterisks in the middle ("**"). Before the asterisk(s) you should write out less-than characters ("<"). After the asterisk(s) you should write out greater-than characters (">"). For example, the following calls produce the following output:
| Call | Output |
|---|---|
| writeChars(1); | * |
| writeChars(2); | ** |
| writeChars(3); | <*> |
| writeChars(4); | <**> |
| writeChars(5); | <<*>> |
| writeChars(6); | <<**>> |
| writeChars(7); | <<<*>>> |
| writeChars(8); | <<<**>>> |
Your method should throw an IllegalArgumentException if passed a value less than 1. Note that the output does not advance to the next line.
