Exclamation. Used after verbs in exclamatory sentences. 循环吧！代码！Start Looping! Code! – 炸鱼薯条德里克 Nov 11 '18 at 07:13

3循环吧！代码！is more like: " 'Let's loop' code" – Tang Ho Nov 11 '18 at 07:16

I think 循环代码 is just fine. 循环吧代码 looks odd. – dan Nov 11 '18 at 08:08

Is it a typo? The Taiwan Chinese version of the page here doesn't have「吧」. – dROOOze Nov 11 '18 at 09:00

@Tang It's not-so-good translation from English (Chinese version mentioned in question is more cute). But OP is talking about usage of 吧, not how to translate English, so I think my answer is OK. – 炸鱼薯条德里克 Nov 11 '18 at 11:27

More close translation would be 循环代码, just compound noun, no cuteness, just like the original English text. – 炸鱼薯条德里克 Nov 11 '18 at 11:30

1@神秘德里克 I think there is enough in your comments to make an answer. If I understood correctly you are saying that as a native speaker 循环吧代码 looks like an exclamation, but in this context it looks odd or unnecessary so it could also be a typo – Tanuk Nov 13 '18 at 02:07

This is an exclamatory sentence. (It lakes exclamation mark 循环吧！代码 )
It means "代码，循环吧！"
It seems like that:

It's a little bit more like Imperative Mood (祈qi2使shi3句ju4) for me.
*sorry I don't know how to type the tone mark
For example,
- 來吧！我準備好了！ (Come on! I'm ready!)
- 上吧！皮卡丘！ (Go fight! Pikachu!)
奔跑吧！男孩！(Run! boys!)
好好享受吧！(Enjoy yourself!)
