Computer Programming/Hello world

The following is a list of Hello, world! programs.

Hello, world! programs make the text "Hello, world!" appear on a computer screen. It is usually the first program encountered when learning a programming language. Otherwise, it's a basic sanity check for an installation of a new programming language. If "Hello World" won't run, one must not try and develop complex programs before fixing the issues with the installation.

WRITE "Hello, world!"

ActionScript

ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0

This will output to the output window only, which an end user would not see.

trace("Hello, world!");

This version will be visible to the end user.

var helloWorld:TextField = this.createTextField( "helloWorld", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 1, 1, 100, 20 );
helloWorld.text = "Hello, world!";

ActionScript 3

package
{
    public class HelloWorld
    {
        public function HelloWorld()
        {
            trace("Hello, world!");
        }
    }
}

Ada

with Ada.Text_IO;
 
procedure Hello is
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello, world!");
end Hello;

ALGOL 68

The ALGOL 68 standard requires that reserved-words, types and operators are in a different typeface. Hence programs are typically published in either bold or an underline typeface, e.g.:

begin
    printf($"Hello, world!"l$)
end

In the popular upper-case stropping convention for bold words:

BEGIN
    printf($"Hello, world!"l$)
END

or using a wikitext like quote stropping, this is especially suitable on computers with only 6 bits per character (hence only have UPPERCASE):

'BEGIN'
    PRINTF($"HELLO, WORLD!"L$)
'END'

or minimally using the "brief symbol" form of begin and end.

( printf($"Hello, world!"l$) )

AmigaE

PROC main()
   WriteF('Hello, world!');
ENDPROC

AMX NetLinx

This program sends the message out via the Diagnostics Interface after start-up.

program_name = 'Hello'
define_start
send_string 0,'Hello World!'

ANSI C

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void) {
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
 
    return 0;
}

ANSI Common Lisp

(format t "Hello, World!~%")

ANT

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</project>

APL

    $\nabla  \mathrm {R} \leftarrow \mathrm {HW} \Delta\mathrm{PGM}$ 
$\left [ 1 \right ] \mathrm {R}\leftarrow \mathrm {'HELLO} \; \mathrm {WORLD!'}$
    $\nabla$

• The Del on the first line begins function definition for the program named HWΔPGM. It is a niladic function (no parameters, as opposed to monadic or dyadic) and it will return an explicit result which allows other functions or APL primitives to use the returned value as input.

• The line labeled 1 assigns the text vector 'Hello, world!!' to the variable R

• The last line is another Del which ends the function definition.

When the function is executed by typing its name the APL interpreter assigns the text vector to the variable R, but since we have not used this value in another function, primitive, or assignment statement the interpreter returns it to the terminal, thus displaying the words on the next line below the function invocation.

The session would look like this

      HWΔPGM
Hello, world!!

While not a program, if you simply supplied the text vector to the interpreter but did not assign it to a variable it would return it to the terminal as output. Note that user input is automatically indented 6 spaces by the interpreter while results are displayed at the beginning of a new line.

      'Hello, world!'
Hello, world!!

AppleScript

return "Hello, world!"

or:

Baan Tools

Also known as Triton Tools on older versions. On Baan ERP you can create a program on 3GL or 4GL mode.

3GL Format

function main()
{
    message("Hello, world!")
}

4GL Format

choice.cont.process:
on.choice:
    message("Hello, world!")

On this last case you should press the Continue button to show the message.

Bash or sh

echo 'Hello, world!'

or

printf 'Hello, world!\n'

or using the C preprocessor

#!/bin/bash
#define cpp #
cpp $0 2> /dev/null | /bin/bash; exit $?
#undef cpp
#define HELLO_WORLD echo "hello, world"
HELLO_WORLD | tr a-z A-Z

BASIC

General

The following example works for any ANSI/ISO-compliant BASIC implementation, as well as most implementations built into or distributed with microcomputers in the 1970s and 1980s (usually some variant of Microsoft BASIC):

10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
20 END

Note that the "END" statement is optional in many implementations of BASIC.

Some implementations could also execute instructions in an immediate mode when line numbers are omitted. The following examples work without requiring a RUN instruction.

PRINT "Hello, world!"

? "Hello, world!"

Later implementations of BASIC allowed greater support for structured programming and did not require line numbers for source code. The following example works when RUN for the vast majority of modern BASICs.

PRINT "Hello, world!"
END

Again, the "END" statement is optional in many BASICs.

BlitzBasic

Print "Hello, world!"
WaitKey

DarkBASIC

PRINT "Hello, world!"

or

TEXT 0,0,"Hello, world!"
WAIT KEY

Note: In the "classic" Dark Basic the WAIT KEY command is optional as the console goes up when the program has finished.

FreeBasic

PRINT "Hello World"
SLEEP
END

or

PRINT "Hello World"

or

? "Hello World"

or

'without a newline
? "Hello World";

CoolBasic

AddText "Hello, world!"
DrawScreen
WaitKey

GW-BASIC

10 PRINT "Hello, World!"
20 END

Liberty BASIC

To write to the main window:

PRINT "Hello, world"

Or drawn in a graphics window:

nomainwin
OPEN "Hello, world!" FOR graphics AS #main
PRINT #main, "place 50 50"
PRINT #main, "\Hello, world!"
PRINT #main, "flush"
WAIT

Microsoft Small Basic

TextWindow.WriteLine("Hello, world!")

PBASIC

DEBUG "Hello, world!", CR

or, the typical microcontroller Hello, world! program equivalent with the only output device present being a light-emitting diode (LED) (in this case attached to the seventh output pin):

 DO
     HIGH 7 'Make the 7th pin go high (turn the LED on)
     PAUSE 500 'Sleep for half a second
     LOW 7 ' Make the 7th pin go low (turn the LED off)
     PAUSE 500 'Sleep for half a second

TI-BASIC

On TI calculators of the TI-80 through TI-86 range:

:Disp "Hello, world!          (note the optional ending quotes)
:Output(X,Y,"Hello, world!    (note the optional ending parenthesis)
:Text(X,Y,"Hello, world!      (writes to the graph rather than home screen)
:Text(-1,X,Y,"Hello, world!   (only on the 83+ and higher, provides larger text, home screen size)
:"Hello, world!               (last line of program only)

Note: "!" character is not on the keypad. It can be accessed from "Catalog" menu, "Probability" menu, or "Math" menu (as factorial notation).

On TI-89/TI-89 Titanium/TI-92(+)/Voyage 200 calculators:

:hellowld()
:Prgm
:Disp "Hello, world!"
:EndPrgm

Visual Basic

Private Sub Form_Load()
  MsgBox "Hello, world"
End Sub

Alternatively, copy this into a New Form:

Private Sub Form_Click()
   Form1.Hide
   Dim HelloWorld As New Form1
   HelloWorld.Width = 2500: HelloWorld.Height = 1000: HelloWorld.Caption = "Hello, world!": HelloWorld.CurrentX = 500: HelloWorld.CurrentY = 75
   HelloWorld.Show: HelloWorld.Font = "Tahoma": HelloWorld.FontBold = True: HelloWorld.FontSize = 12: HelloWorld.Print "Hello, world!"
End Sub

PICK/BASIC, DATA/BASIC, MV/BASIC

In addition to the ANSI syntax at the head of this article, most Pick operating system flavors of Dartmouth BASIC support extended syntax allowing cursor placement and other terminfo type functions for VDT's

X, Y positioning (colon ":" is the concatenation instruction):

 PRINT @(34,12) : "Hello, world!" 

Will display the string "Hello, world!" roughly centered in a 80X24 CRT.

Other functions:

 PRINT @(-1) : @(34,12) : "Hello, world!"

Will clear the screen before displaying the string "Hello, world!" roughly centered in a 80X24 CRT.

Syntax variants:

 CRT "Hello, world!"

Supporting the "@" functions above, the CRT statement ignores previous PRINTER statements and always sends output to the screen.

Some Pick operating system environments such as OpenQM support the DISPLAY variant of PRINT. This variant in addition to the "@" functions maintains pagination based upon the settings of the TERM variable:

 DISPLAY "Hello, world!"

Batch (MS-DOS)

JavaFX Script

JavaFX Script was a scripting language formerly called F3 for Form Follows Function. It was discontinued by Oracle in 2010.

 Frame {
    title: "Hello World JavaFX"
    width: 200
    content: Label {
       text: "Hello World"
    }
    visible: true
 }

This program can also be written in this way:

 var win = new Frame();
 win.title = "Hello World JavaFX";
 win.width = 200;
 var label = new Label();
 label.text = "Hello World";
 win.content = label;
 win.visible = true;

A simple console output version would be:

 import java.lang.System;
 System.out.println("Hello World");

Or even simpler (with a built-in function):

println("Hello World");

JavaScript

JavaScript does not have native (built in) input or output routines. Instead it relies on the facilities provided by its host environment.

MS-DOS batch

(with the standard command.com interpreter. The @ symbol is optional and prevents the system from repeating the command before executing it. The @ symbol must be omitted on versions of MS-DOS prior to 3.0.). It's very common for batchfiles to start with two lines of "@echo off" and "cls".

 @echo Hello, world!

For MS-DOS 3.0 or lower

echo off
cls
echo Hello, world!

MUF

: main
  me @ "Hello, world!" notify

Natural

WRITE 'Hello, world!'
END

or

WRITE 'Hello, world!'.

Neko

$print("Hello, world!!\n");

Nemerle

The easiest way to get Nemerle print "Hello, world!" would be that:

System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");

however, in bigger applications the following code would be probably more useful:

using System.Console;

module HelloWorld
{
   Main():void
   {
      WriteLine("Hello, world!");
   }
}

Oberon

Oberon is both the name of a programming language and an operating system.

Program written for the Oberon operating system:

MODULE Hello;
        IMPORT Oberon, Texts;
 VAR W: Texts.Writer;
 
 PROCEDURE World*;
 BEGIN
   Texts.WriteString(W, "Hello, world!");
   Texts.WriteLn(W);
   Texts.Append(Oberon.Log, W.buf)
 END World;
 
BEGIN
 Texts.OpenWriter(W)
END Hello.

Freestanding Oberon program using the standard Oakwood library:

MODULE Hello;
   IMPORT Out;
BEGIN
   Out.String("Hello, world!");
   Out.Ln
END Hello.

Obix

system.console.write_line ( "Hello, world!" )

Free-Form Syntax

/FREE

    DSPLY 'Hello, world!';

    *InLR = *On;

/END-FREE 

Traditional Syntax

With this syntax, a constant has to be used because the message must be placed in positions 12 to 25, between apostrophes.

     d TestMessage     c                   Const( 'Hello, world!' )

     c     TestMessage   DSPLY

     c                   EVAL      *InLR = *On

RPG Code

Message Window

Using the internal message window, a simple Hello, world! program can be rendered thus:

mwin("Hello, world!")
wait()

On Screen Text

An additional way to render text is by using the built in text() function.

text(1,1,"Hello, world!")
wait()

XC

XC is a C like language from XMOS Ltd offering features supporting Communicating Sequential Processes on their multi-threaded, multi-core processors. This example shows some of those features.

#include <platform.h>
#define BIT_RATE 115200
#define BIT_TIME XS1_TIMER_HZ / BIT_RATE
 
// A one bit output port with buffering
out port:1 buffered uart_tx = PORT_UART_TX;
 
// Thread implements serial transmitter using the ports timer.
void console (chanend c, out port:1 buffered TXD)
{
	unsigned time;
	char byte;
 
	while (1)
	{
		c :> byte;					// Read byte from the consol output channel.
		TXD <: 0 @ time;				// Set start bit and save IO time stamp.
		for (int j = 0; j < 8; j += 1)		// Data bits.
		{
			time += BIT_TIME;		// Time of next bit.
			TXD @ time <: >> byte;	// Shift out next bit on time.
		}
		time += BIT_TIME;			// Two stop bits
		TXD @ time <: 1;
		time += BIT_TIME;
		TXD @ time <: 1;
	}
}
 
// Thread issues greeting message to the console
void greeter(chanend c)

f.Controls.Add(Button(Text: "Ok", Location: Point(50, 55), Click: {Application.Exit()}))
Application.Run(f)

Functional equivalent of C# program below.

C#

Simply, using Message Box:

 public class HelloWorld
 {
     static void Main()
     {
         System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Hello, world!");
     }
 }

Or:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
 
 public class HelloWorldForm : Form 
 {
     public static void Main() 
     {
         Application.Run(new HelloWorldForm());
     }
 
     public HelloWorldForm() 
     {
        Label label = new Label();
        label.Text = "Hello, world!";
        label.Location = new Point(40,30);
        this.Controls.Add(label);
        Button button = new Button();
        button.Text = "OK";
        button.Location = new Point(50,55);
        this.Controls.Add(button);
        button.Click += new EventHandler(button_Click);
     }
 
     private void button_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) 
     {
        Application.Exit();
     }
 }

Clarion

The simplest way to achieve this is with the built in message function that is similar to the windows messageBox().

   PROGRAM
   MAP
   END
   CODE
   MESSAGE('Hello, world!!','Clarion')
   RETURN

A more real world example uses a Clarion structure to declare a window and the Clarion Accept loop to process events from that window.

  PROGRAM
    MAP
HelloProcedure  PROCEDURE()
    END

    CODE
    HelloProcedure()
    RETURN

HelloProcedure  PROCEDURE()
Window WINDOW('Clarion for Windows'),AT(,,222,116),FONT('Tahoma',8,,FONT:regular),ICON('Hey.ICO'), |
         SYSTEM,GRAY
       STRING('Hello, world!!'),AT(91,22),USE(?String1)
       BUTTON('Close'),AT(92,78,37,14),USE(?CloseBtn),LEFT
     END
    CODE
    OPEN(Window)
    ACCEPT
      CASE ACCEPTED()
      OF ?CloseBtn
        POST(EVENT:CloseWindow)
      END
    END
    CLOSE(Window)
    RETURN

Cocoa or GNUStep (In Objective C)

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface hello : NSObject {
}
@end
 
@implementation hello
 
-(void)awakeFromNib
{ 
     NSBeep(); // we don't need this but it's conventional to beep 
               // when you show an alert
     NSRunAlertPanel(@"Message from your Computer", @"Hello, world!", @"Hi!",
                     nil, nil);
}
 
@end

Hello, world!

Delphi, Kylix

program Hello_World;
uses    
  QDialogs;
 
begin
 
  ShowMessage('Hello, world!');
 
or
 
  MessageDlg ('Hello, world!', mtInformation, [mbOk], 0);
 
 
end.

Erlang

-module(hello_world).
-export([hello/0]).
 
hello() ->
   S = gs:start(),
   Win = gs:create(window, S, [{width, 100}, {height, 50}]),
   gs:create(label, Win, [{label, {text, "Hello, world!"}}]),
   gs:config(Win, {map, true}),
   receive
      {gs, Win, destroy, _, _} ->
         gs:stop()
   end,
   ok.

One way of invoking this would be to enter hello_world:hello(). in the Erlang shell; another would be to run from a command line:

erl -noshell -run hello_world hello -run init stop

Note that the previous example will only work when the code is entered as part of a Form Load Event, such as the one created by default when generating a new project in the Visual Studio programming environment. Equivalently, the following code is roughly equivalent to the traditional Visual Basic 6 code by disabling the Application Framework and setting 'Sub Main' as the entry point for the application:

Public Module MyApplication
  Sub Main()
     MessageBox.Show("Hello, world!")
  End Sub
