C++
#include < iostream >int main(int argc, char** argv, char** env) { using namespace std; cout << "Hello World!" << endl; return 0;} g++ -o hello hello.cpp; ./hello
C
#include < stdlib.h >int main(int argc, char** argv, char** env){ printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0;} gcc -o hello hello.c; ./hello
Java
public class hello { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); }} javac hello.java; java hello
BASIC
10 print "Hello World!"20 end (BASIC shell)$ run
And this could go on and on and on. I suppose I should have made Hello World in #defines alone, template processing done with the compiler itself, perl, PASCAL, shell commands, etc. I've listed justed a few, and I do mean only a few, of the many, many langauges out there also known as tools for the developer. Get this, some people even make their own languages when no others seem to do. And maybe when you graduate from the language wars you can get into fullfledged API wars!
Then, and only after then, you may realize: "CRAP! I should have studied software design methodologies and techniques to further my craft by way of a solid foundation!?!"To the original creator of this thead: Look at the examples I have posted. See which is easier for you to comprehend with no previous knowledge of programming. To anybody that hasn't stopped to think about it (except you magmai
) Ever wonder why BASIC is a prerequisite for any computer programming course right after an "Introduction to Computers" type class??? Hmm, that's a coincedence. Not enough for you? Ask any competant programmer if they have crossed BASIC early in their pre-programming career.B eginners A ll-purpose S ymbolic I nstruction C ode

This thread is ohhh so close to dying as I am about to close it...
