ZMFACC Assembler Coding Contest - A new problem #14 - code the Ackerman function to calc a(4,1)=65533.

 

Code a macro assembler program to calculate the value of the Ackerman function a(4,1) = 65533.  The Ackerman function a(m,n) is  a recursively defined function as follows:

1.      If m = 0, then a(m, n) = n+1

2.      if m > 0 and n = 0, then a(m, n) = a(m-1,1)

3.      if m> 0 and n > 0, then a(m,n) = a(m-1,a(m,n-1))
