But your task is to decide for /any/ program, not just DDD. That, as you are so fond of saying, is 'stipulated', and you can't get out of it. The whole point of the Entscheidungsproblem is its universality. Ignore that, and you have nothing.

 THESE ARE THE WORDS ANYONE THAT DODGES THESE

 void DDD()

   return;
