Brainfuck
<language> An eight-instruction programming language created
by Urban Müller. His goal was apparently to create a
{Turing-complete} language with the smallest {compiler} ever,
for the {Amiga OS} 2.0. He eventually reduced his compiler to
under 200 bytes.
A Brainfuck program has a pointer that moves within an array
of 30000 bytes, initially all set to zero. The pointer
initially points to the beginning of this array. The language
has eight commands, each of which is represented as a single
character, and which can be expressed in terms of {C} as
follows:
> ==> ++p;
< ==> --p;
+ ==> ++*p;
- ==> --*p;
. ==> putchar(*p);
, ==> *p = getchar();
[ ==> while (*p) {
] ==> }
