1[ This program prints "Hello World!" and a newline to the screen, its
2length is 106 active command characters. [It is not the shortest.]

4This loop is an "initial comment loop", a simple way of adding a comment
5to a BF program such that you don't have to worry about any command
6characters. Any ".", ",", "+", "-", "<" and ">" characters are simply
7ignored, the "[" and "]" characters just have to be balanced. This
8loop and the commands it contains are ignored because the current cell
9defaults to a value of 0; the 0 value causes this loop to be skipped.

13++++++++ Set Cell #0 to 8
14[
15>++++ Add 4 to Cell #1; this will always set Cell #1 to 4
16[ as the cell will be cleared by the loop
17>++ Add 2 to Cell #2
18>+++ Add 3 to Cell #3
19>+++ Add 3 to Cell #4
20>+ Add 1 to Cell #5
21<<<<- Decrement the loop counter in Cell #1
22] Loop until Cell #1 is zero; number of iterations is 4
23>+ Add 1 to Cell #2
24>+ Add 1 to Cell #3
25>- Subtract 1 from Cell #4
26>>+ Add 1 to Cell #6
27[<] Move back to the first zero cell you find; this will
28be Cell #1 which was cleared by the previous loop
29<- Decrement the loop Counter in Cell #0
30] Loop until Cell #0 is zero; number of iterations is 8

32The result of this is:
33Cell no : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

37>>. Cell #2 has value 72 which is 'H'
38>---. Subtract 3 from Cell #3 to get 101 which is 'e'
39+++++++..+++. Likewise for 'llo' from Cell #3
40>>. Cell #5 is 32 for the space
41<-. Subtract 1 from Cell #4 for 87 to give a 'W'
42<. Cell #3 was set to 'o' from the end of 'Hello'
43+++.------.--------. Cell #3 for 'rl' and 'd'
44>>+. Add 1 to Cell #5 gives us an exclamation point
45>++. And finally a newline from Cell #6
