![HelloWorld] This is the default introductory program to a new programming or scripting language. The main purpose and goal of the program is to display the text string "Hello World\n" to the standard output stream ([stdout(3)]). Some examples in different [ProgrammingLanguage]s: [BASIC] PRINT "Hello World\n" [C] #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; } [C++] #include <iostream> void main(){ std::cout << "Hello World" << endl; } [COBOL] ''I'm not sure how much of this is serious or facetious...'' 000100 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. 000200 PROGRAM-ID.

It's not really meant as a sample program. What you learn from creating a Hello World program is how to use the language tools: it's a first exercise in entering, compiling and running a program on a paticular system, and it might make you go find the documentation on the I/O library in some cases. [99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall | http://99-bottles-of-beer.ls-la.net/] is slightly better for demonstrating the look of a language, PPR:WardNumber a lot better. -- GlynWebster ---- __Hello, World Page!__ %%% http://www2.latech.edu/~acm/HelloWorld.shtml %%% A very comprehensive [HelloWorld] website with MANY programming language [HelloWorld] codelets. -- DrewBroadley ---- __Footnotes__ [1] In fact there are hundreds of programming languages.
