===Byte Length===
There are several limitations Brainf*** has that influence this solution:
- *Brainf*** only supports 8-bit numbers in canonical implementations, so it only supports strings of length below 255.
- *The rule of thumb in Brainf*** when reading a string is to always store exactly one byte, no matter how much bytes a character represents. That's why this solution is a strictly ByteLength one.
- *No way to pass anything to Brainf*** but giving the arguments as input. That's why this program reads a string and outputs the number of bytes in it.
