{{stub}}{{language|BlooP}}

The name BlooP is short for Bounded Loop, the primary structure of the language. FlooP is identical to BlooP in every way except that it also sorts unbounded loops. FlooP is tiringTuring complete, where BlooP is not. There is also a third, impossible language called GlooP, which can solve the halting problem.

BlooP and FlooP have only 1 data type: non-negative integers (natural numbers). There are also only 2 variables (except parameters to procedures): <code>OUTPUT</code>, which is the value returned by a procedure, and <code>CELL(i)</code>, which is an unbounded series of numbers. Some implementations also add string literals, which can only be used by an added <code>PRINT</code> instruction.

*<code><=</code> or <code>⇐</code> : Assignment

*<code>*</code> or <code>x×</code> (depending on implementation): Multiplication

OUTPUT ⇐<= 1;

CELL(0) ⇐<= 1;

OUTPUT ⇐<= OUTPUT ×* CELL(0);

CELL(0) ⇐<= CELL(0) + 1;

OUTPUT ⇐<= 0;

OUTPUT ⇐<= OUTPUT + 1;
