[ This program prints "Hello World!" and a newline to the screen, its
|
||
|
length is 106 active command characters. [It is not the shortest.]
|

|
|
||
|
This loop is an "initial comment loop", a simple way of adding a comment
|
||
|
to a BF program such that you don't have to worry about any command
|
||
|
characters. Any ".", ",", "+", "-", "<" and ">" characters are simply
|
||
|
ignored, the "[" and "]" characters just have to be balanced. This
|
||
|
loop and the commands it contains are ignored because the current cell
|
||
|
defaults to a value of 0; the 0 value causes this loop to be skipped.

The result of this is:

Cell no : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

>>. Cell #2 has value 72 which is 'H'
|

>---. Subtract 3 from Cell #3 to get 101 which is 'e'
|
||
|
+++++++..+++. Likewise for 'llo' from Cell #3
|
||
|
>>. Cell #5 is 32 for the space
|

<-. Subtract 1 from Cell #4 for 87 to give a 'W'

<. Cell #3 was set to 'o' from the end of 'Hello'
|
||
|
+++.------.--------. Cell #3 for 'rl' and 'd'
|
||
|
>>+. Add 1 to Cell #5 gives us an exclamation point

>++. And finally a newline from Cell #6
