It is quite common to write a ‘Hello, world’ script when trying a new language, just to check the tech is working correctly, this is my contribution to the fire-hose of internet noise. You’re welcome!
A “Hello, World!” program is generally a computer program that outputs or displays a simple message: Hello, World!. This program is very simple to write in many programming languages, and is often used to illustrate a language’s basic syntax. Hello, World! programs are often used as a sanity test to ensure computer software intended to compile/run code is correctly installed, and that the operator understands how to use it.
History of Hello, World!
While small test programs have existed since the invention of programmable computers, the tradition of using “Hello, World!” as a test phrase came from an example program in the seminal 1978 book “The C Programming Language”.
The example program in that book prints “hello, world”, and was inherited from a 1974 Bell Laboratories internal memorandum by Brian Kernighan, Programming in C: A Tutorial.
main( ) {
printf("hello, world");
}
