My current idea is this:

NOOP(1) = 1;

NOOP(n) = length of an input in NOOP language for an n-level NOOP machine to output ...;

NOOP language:

where there exists an input, ...

i input

+ increment the input

- decrement the input

< left shift

> right shift

h halt the program

? if

= is

$ ends with

^ begins with


 * includes


 * then

a,b, do a else do b

! not

?i!=$h:a,b,a:h,b:i if input doesn't end with halting, halt; if input does end with halting, run the input;

that's as far as I've gotten. the point is that the input is something in NOOP language, NOT a number. I'm not sure what to do now :P
