||defines ackermann's function, beloved of recursion theorists. Example || ack 3 3 ||should yield 61, after doing a huge amount of recursion. Can only be ||called for small arguments, because the values get so big. ack 0 n = n+1 ack (m+1) 0 = ack m 1 ack (m+1) (n+1) = ack m (ack (m+1) n) ack m n = error "ack applied to -ve or fractional arg"
