In this project, we are going to program in Brainfuck. Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language known for its simplicity and extreme minimalism.
-
Start with a pointer at the current cell, initialized to 0.
-
Read the Brainfuck code, which consists of a series of special characters.
-
Perform the following operations based on the encountered characters:
>
: Move the pointer to the next cell.<
: Move the pointer to the previous cell.+
: Increment the value of the current cell by 1.-
: Decrement the value of the current cell by 1..
: Print the ASCII value of the current cell.,
: Read an ASCII value from the input and store it in the current cell.[
: If the value of the current cell is 0, jump to the instruction after the corresponding closing bracket.]
: If the value of the current cell is not 0, jump to the instruction after the corresponding opening bracket.
-
Repeat step 3 until all the Brainfuck code has been executed.
To print the phrase "Hello world!" in Brainfuck, we need to convert each character to its ASCII value and then use the .
command to print it.
72 = ‘H’ 101 = ‘e’ 108 = ‘l’ 111 = ‘o’ 32 = space 87 = ‘W’ 114 = ‘r’ 100 = ‘d’ 33 = ‘!’
