Brainf*ck examples

[sans-hubris]

I need some Brainf*ck sample programs with some clearly defined output, any kind of output that would signify that the interpreter/compiler that a person wrote works. However, it can't have any nested loops. I'm basically writing a challenge for a high school programming competition that my college is hosting and I'm having a hard time coming up with some Brainf*ck sample programs that don't have nested loops and have some clearly defined output.

I have no earthly clue what they do (nested loop-wise and all,) but if you look for "quines" in brainf*ck, you can easily tell if a compiler is correct by comparing the output to the program itself (quines being programs that output themselves.)

I made a simple Python script the other day that grabs whatever file you type in the command line and prints that out. Ex.

# ./Smc.py message.txt

of cource

# ./Smc.py Smc.py

prints out the source to itself.

Is that a quine?

No, that's not a quine.
