(related/inspired by: Draw a bowling formation)
A fun pastime in the winter months here is to perform snowman bowling, using a large ball (like a basketball) and tiny snowman figures. Let's recreate this in ASCII.
Each snowman consists of the following:

A perfect tic-tac-toe AI, when playing versus a human (or better phrased, playing against whatever input values were fed to the code, more on that down below), always wins or draws, and never loses, 100% of the time. In other words, the probability that this AI will lose (i.e neither draw nor win...

To "function nest" a string, you must:
Treat the first character as a function, and the following characters as the arguments to that function. For example, if the input string was Hello, then the first step would be:
H(ello)
Then, repeat this same step for every substring. So we get:
H(ello...
Your task is to create the shortest infinite loop!
The point of this challenge is to create an infinite loop producing no output, unlike its possible duplicate. The reason to this is because the code might be shorter if no output is given.

mainly I'm asking this so I know whether to count all the import declarations that are required for the code to run successfully (especially when the import/include is required in the language like in D)
There are lots of questions about whether to count the bytes in an import statement, etc. This question is not about that. Instead, this question is more inline with this question but I think it would be considered off topic/distinct.
Again, assume standard library imports are allowed at least, ...
In this answer, I used a java.util.List as a parameter to an anonymous function (lambda) answer. So, my question is,
Should this import be counted to the byte total?
I know, it feels like the obvious answer should be YES - if you don't import java.util.*, my example usage won't compile.
Howeve...
Challenge
Given a non-empty array of integers, e.g.:
[5, 2, 7, 6, 4, 1, 3]
First sever it into arrays where no item is larger than the previous (i.e. non-ascending arrays):
[5, 2] [7, 6, 4, 1] [3]
Next, reverse each array:
[2, 5] [1, 4, 6, 7] [3]
Finally, concatenate them all together:
...
Count the characters, bit by bit!
The concept is simple: Given an input string containing only printable ASCII-characters (space - tilde), count the number of occurrences of each character and return the result on any convenient format. The result for a string a%hda7a should be something like: a...
