Hello World is the first programme one writes when learning a new language.
Below is a list of Hello World programmes:
I am sure this is helpful for comparing different programming languages.

And just for any sadist out there who wants more, Wikipedia provides a good list of "Hello World" examples from an even wider sampling of languages here.

You missied HTML ))))))

Although HTML is a language, I don't think it is considered a programming language. You can't make programs with HTML (please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not an "HTML programmer" )

you forgot VB6. you only gave an .net example.
some VB programmers religiously oppose the .net and the heaviness of the framwork and the useless sadistic learning curve. So here we go:

private sub cmd_click()
msgbox("Hello world!")
end sub

That was a great list of hello world in different languages.

Yeah, very nice list . It's good for seeing the basic language if you're learning it .

I don't like the C example. Here is a better one:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  puts("Hello world!");
  return 0;
}

Or for lonely people:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int err;

  err = puts("Hello world!");
  if (err != EOF) return 0;
  perror("puts");
  return 1;
}

Edit: Also the DOS assembler example is really bad! Even the program's return value is undefined. But nevermind. DOS is dead. =)

Nice one to read is very interesting how to program in different languages Hello World :-) In this year of study i'll learn how to program in Assembler becouse i'll must prepeare a course project whit some microprocessor which is programable whit assembler :-)

Here is the link to a LARGE collection of hello world snippets.

MERLiiN

And DOS is not dead becouse i need to prepeare a some microchip and program it with assebler for my course project :-)

What does that have to do with DOS?

With nothing to do, but i'll need do program some microchip wich is only programable with assembler :-)

So DOS keeps being dead. =D

not quite...
i was doing my final exams at school where I also had to program some batch programs. when you know a little bit of programming languages its just funny to "programm" in DOS edit...
