+[ ; 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.
+]
+++++++++ ; Set Cell #0 to 8
+[
+ >++++ ; Add 4 to Cell #1; this will always set Cell #1 to 4
+ [ ; as the cell will be cleared by the loop
+ >++ ; Add 2 to Cell #2

+ >+++ ; Add 3 to Cell #4

+ ; be Cell #1 which was cleared by the previous loop
+ <- ; Decrement the loop Counter in Cell #0
+] ; Loop until Cell #0 is zero; number of iterations is 8
+
+; The result of this is:
