    • @AndresTraks
      @AndresTraks ปีที่แล้ว +11

      The first cell is used as a counter for the loop and is set to 1. For each iteration of the loop, the counter is decremented by 5. Since a cell wraps around the maximum value of a byte (1 - 5 = 252), it takes 205 iterations for the counter to reach exactly 0, which is the exit condition of the loop. The second cell is used as the character value and is first set to 0. For each iteration of the loop, the character value is incremented by 3, which makes 205 * 3 = 615. But this cell also wraps around, so the final value is 615 modulo 256 = 103.

    BrainF**k is not entirely useless. I recently saw a paper by some mathematicians showing an algorithm to factorize arbitrarily large integers asymptotically optimally (that is it has the same O(f(n)) as the most efficient classical factorizing algorithm, the could not show what that was, and finding the most efficient factorizing algorithm is still an open problem), and BF was a crucial part of that algorithm. Basically what they did was a BF program, execute one step in it, then create a second program, execute two steps in the fist program and one in the second one step and then create a third program (in every iteration each program executes twice as many steps as in the previous iteration), and so on until one of all the programs they created spits out the correct factorization of the large integer that was given (which is easy to check since multiplication is polynomial in the number of bits in the integer). They actually wrote a python program that did this, (it was excruciatingly slow, it took several days for it to factorize 4). The point is that Brainfuck is not completely useless.
