Write a recursive function named get_palindromes (words) that takes a list of words as a parameter. The function should return a list of all the palindromes in the list. The function returns an
empty list if there are no palindromes in the list or if the list is empty. For example, if the list is ["racecar", "hello", "noon", "goodbye"], the function should return ["racecar", "noon"].
A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards.
Note: The get_palindromes() function has to be recursive; you are not allowed to use loops to solve this problem.
For example:
Test
words = ["racecar", "hello", "noon", "goodbye", "test", 'aibohphobia'] ['racecar', 'noon', 'aibohphobia']
print (get_palindromes (words))
print (get_palindromes ([]))
print (get_palindromes (['this', 'is', 'test']))
Answer: (penalty regime: 0, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 %)
