Task
Write some the shortest code that result in the largest compiled/transpiled file
Scoring
Your score is calculated as such : Size of your code (in Bytes) / Size of the generated file (in Bytes)
For example, if your code is 8 bytes long an...

Inspired by Expand exponentation.
Knuth's up arrow notation is used for big numbers such as Graham's number.
If we look deeper, we can see how it makes big numbers.
One arrow means exponentiation. e.g. 2↑3 equals 2^3 = 8.
Two or more arrows means repeating the instructions of n-1 arrows. e.g....
What is the best approach to store and search for the primitive data types? Data structure that can tackle both time constraint and memory constraint? websites/books from where I can get clear knowledge on these things?
Reverse the order of the digits
in the number.
Take the first, third, ... and
every other odd digit in the
reversed digits and sum them
to form the partial sum s1
Taking the second, fourth ...
and every other even digit in
the reversed digits:
Multiply each digit by two and
sum the digits if the...
I've seen people use # (h1) and ## (h2) on the language name and program size in their answers, but is one of them considered better?
Related: What is the minimum set of characters with which you can write any valid python program?
Summary:
For any given language, what is the smallest amount of unique characters for your language to be Turing-Complete?
Challenge:
For any language of your choice, find the smallest subset o...
Your task is to write code that will leak at least one byte of memory in as few bytes as possible. The memory must leaked not just allocated.
Leaked memory is memory that the program allocates but looses the ability to access before it can deallocate the memory properly. For most high level ...
This question is designed with Python in mind, but it can work in any interpreted language, and maybe more if you're creative.
The challenge
The code, when run, must ask for a text prompt from the user. Once the user provides text, the string will be interpreted as a statement in the language, ...
Try to do the following challenges using only one character. You can use the one character as much as you want, but you are disqualified if you use more than one unique character.
Functionality
Write a program to do the following:
Take two numbers as input.
Evaluate the first number to the ...
