[ 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 a "comment loop", it's a simple way of adding a comment
5
  to a BF program such that you don't have to worry about any command
6
  characters. Any ".", ",", "+", "-", "<" and ">" characters are simply
7
  ignored, the "[" and "]" characters just have to be balanced.

>>.                     Cell #2 has value 72 which is 'H'
34
>---.                   Subtract 3 from Cell #3 to get 101 which is 'e'
35
+++++++..+++.           Likewise for 'llo' from Cell #3
36
>>.                     Cell #5 is 32 for the space
37
<-.                     Subtract 1 from Cell #4 for 87 to give a 'W'
38
<.                      Cell #3 was set to 'o' from the end of 'Hello'
39
+++.------.--------.    Cell #3 for 'rl' and 'd'
40
>>+.                    Add 1 to Cell #5 gives us an exclamation point
41
>++.                    And finally a newline from Cell #6
