  1. [ This program prints "Hello World!" and a newline to the screen, its
  2. length is 106 active command characters [it is not the shortest.]
  3. This loop is a "comment loop", it's a simple way of adding a comment
  4. to a BF program such that you don't have to worry about any command
  5. characters. Any ".", ",", "+", "-", "<" and ">" characters are simply
  6. ignored, the "[" and "]" characters just have to be balanced.
  7. ]
  8. +++++ +++ Set Cell #0 to 8
  9. [
  10. >++++ Add 4 to Cell #1; this will always set Cell #1 to 4
  11. [ as the cell will be cleared by the loop
  12. >++ Add 2 to Cell #2
  13. >+++ Add 3 to Cell #3
  14. >+++ Add 3 to Cell #4
  15. >+ Add 1 to Cell #5
  16. <<<<- Decrement the loop counter in Cell #1
  17. ] Loop till Cell #1 is zero; number of iterations is 4
  18. >+ Add 1 to Cell #2
  19. >+ Add 1 to Cell #3
  20. >- Subtract 1 from Cell #4
  21. >>+ Add 1 to Cell #6
  22. [<] Move back to the first zero cell you find; this will
  23. be Cell #1 which was cleared by the previous loop
  24. <- Decrement the loop Counter in Cell #0
  25. ] Loop till Cell #0 is zero; number of iterations is 8
  26. The result of this is:
  27. Cell No : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
  28. Contents: 0 0 72 104 88 32 8
  29. Pointer : ^
  30. >>. Cell #2 has value 72 which is 'H'
  31. >---. Subtract 3 from Cell #3 to get 101 which is 'e'
  32. +++++++..+++. Likewise for 'llo' from Cell #3
  33. >>. Cell #5 is 32 for the space
  34. <-. Subtract 1 from Cell #4 for 87 to give a 'W'
  35. <. Cell #3 was set to 'o' from the end of 'Hello'
  36. +++.------.--------. Cell #3 for 'rl' and 'd'
  37. >>+. Add 1 to Cell #5 gives us an exclamation point
  38. >++. And finally a newline from Cell #6
