Task #1
Create a script to demonstrate Ackermann function. The Ackermann function is defined as below, m and n are positive number:
A(m, n) = n + 1 if m = 0 A(m, n) = A(m - 1, 1) if m > 0 and n = 0 A(m, n) = A(m - 1, A(m, n - 1)) if m > 0 and n > 0
Example expansions as shown in wiki page.
A(1, 2) = A(0, A(1, 1)) = A(0, A(0, A(1, 0))) = A(0, A(0, A(0, 1))) = A(0, A(0, 2)) = A(0, 3) = 4
Task #2
Create a script to parse URL and print the components of URL. According to Wiki page, the URL syntax is as below:
scheme:[//[userinfo@]host[:port]]path[?query][#fragment]
For example: jdbc://user:password@localhost:3306/pwc?profile=true#h1
scheme: jdbc userinfo: user:password host: localhost port: 3306 path: /pwc query: profile=true fragment: h1
