@tom - I'm not so picky about s. A set of bytes with values of 0-255 will suffice for this challenge.

I have a question about the string s - can it be effectively binary - a set of bytes with values of 0-255 - or should it be restricted to 'bytes that can be printed'. Is it envisioned that s can be printed as 'code' in a Code-Golf post? Do you have a list of characters we should not use? Oh and great challenge.

| Jan 9, 2020 at 1:13 | comment | added | Dustin G. Mixon | @sugarfi - D is designed with E, for E. One possibility is that D uncompresses s to obtain c and then evaluates c on input x. Yes, this conversion from s to c can be thought of as the inverse of E. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 1:08 | comment | added | sugarfi | I am a bit confused about "The program D takes s as input along with any input x of c and returns the output of c(x)." Does this just mean that D is the inverse of E? Or does D have to work for any caddy? | |
