Java Challenge - count8 Recursive

Given a non-negative int n, compute recursively (no loops) the count of the occurrences of 8 as a digit, except that an 8 with another 8 immediately to its left counts double, so 8818 yields 4. Note that mod (%) by 10 yields the rightmost digit (126 % 10 is 6), while divide (/) by 10 removes the rightmost digit (126 / 10 is 12).

count8(8) → 1
count8(818) → 2
count8(8818) → 4

public int count8(int n) {
 if(n<10 && n == 8) return 1; 
 if(n<10 && n!=8) return 0;
 if((n%10 == 8) && ((n/10)%10)==8) return 1+count8(n%10)+count8(n/10);
 return count8(n%10)+count8(n/10);
}
