Modification history:
- 2012-12-19 - First version.
- 2012-12-29 - Fixed loop nesting (loops can nest up to 10 levels deep) and incorrect brainf*ck code due to copy-and-paste mistake.
- 2013-01-04 - Added nested loop example.
Here is a C++ program which translates Brainf*ck into C. The code it produces is pretty ugly, but it works.
