Ackermann's Function

Ackermann's Function is a recursive mathematical algorithm that can be used to test how well a system optimizes its performance of recursion. Design a function ackermann (m, n), which solves Ackermann's function. Use the following logic in your function:

If m = 0 then return n + 1

If n = 0 then return ackermann (m - 1, 1)

Otherwise, return ackermann (m - 1, ackermann (m, n - 1))

Once you've designed your function, test it by calling it with small values for m and n.

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
