Main characters

Zim

Zim (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz,Billy West in the pilot and Melissa Fahn as a smeet in "Parent Teacher Night") is an incompetent Irken invader who is foul-tempered, overzealous, impulsive, megalomaniac, and convinced of his own greatness. He dreams of regaining his leaders' trust by taking part in Operation Impending Doom II, so Zim is assigned to Earth, a planet which the Almighty Tallest believe has little to no chance of existing. However, against all odds, Zim makes it to Earth and establishes a base on a fake conquest mission. Because of his very small stature, Zim disguises himself as a human child using a hairpiece to cover his antennae and contact lenses to make his eyes look normal.

Tak (function)

In computer science, the Tak function is a recursive function, named after Ikuo Takeuchi (竹内郁雄). It is defined as follows:

This function is often used as a benchmark for languages with optimization for recursion.

tak() vs. tarai()

The original definition by Takeuchi was as follows:

tarai is short for tarai mawashi, "to pass around" in Japanese.

John McCarthy named this function tak() after Takeuchi.

However, in certain later references, the y somehow got turned into the z. This is a small, but significant difference because the original version benefits significantly by lazy evaluation. Though written in exactly the same manner as others, the Haskell code below runs much faster.

You can easily accelerate this function via memoization yet lazy evaluation still wins.

The best known way to optimize tarai is to use mutually recursive helper function as follows.

Here is an efficient implementation of tarai() in C:

Note the additional check for (x <= y) before z (the third argument) is evaluated, avoiding unnecessary recursive evaluation.
