In Java write a recursive method called writeChars that accepts an integer parameter n and that prints out a total of n characters. 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 (">"). Your method should throw an IllegalArgumentException if it is passed a value less than 1. Test your method in the program. For example, the following calls produce the following output:

writeChars(1); *

writeChars(2); **

writeChars(3); <*>

writeChars(4); <**>

writeChars(5); <<*>>

writeChars(6); <<**>>

writeChars(7); <<<*>>>
