java - Unknown Recursive Algorithm -


i have found answer problem while ago have since forgotten it. after hours of searching again, cannot seem find it. have recursive method:

public static int f(int x, int y) {     if (x==0) return 1+y;     if (y==0) return f(x-1,1);     return f(x-1, f(x,y-1)); }

i know formula determining return is:

when x = 0, formula y + 1
when x = 1, formula y + 2
when x = 2, formula 2y + 3.

i don't know beyond that.

my question(s) recursive algorithm called , there way determine simplified function value of x , y? in advance!

that looks ackermann function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ackermann_function

according wikipedia multiply recursive problem think there no non-recursive way represent it.

SPSS keyboard combination alters encoding -

my question not have programming practical issue on spss. accident keyword combination cannot remember because did not intend press changed encoding in spss , text in data in different language english shown small boxes. nevertheless, when kind of analysis performed different language text shown in output. does know reason? tried change encoding did not produce result. first, @ edit > options , see whether setting unicode or locale. might fix it. if have text in multiple languages, want unicode. otherwise, may have specific locale set wrong. can change set locale, need know locale want use.
