A "hello world" program is a computer program that simply prints out "Hello, world!".

This is a traditional first program to write when learning a new programming language, and can be a useful sanity test to make sure that a language's compiler, development environment, and run-time environment are correctly installed.

While minimal test programs such as this existed since the development of programmable computers, the tradition of using "Hello, world!" as the test message was probably started by its use as an example program in the book The C Programming Language, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

Here are some examples in different languages:

   procedure Hello is

      Put_Line ("Hello, world!");

       MOV DX, OFFSET HW
       MOV AH, 09H
       INT 21H
       MOV AX, 4C00H

Java

   import java.awt.*;
   import java.awt.event.*;
   public class HelloFrame extends Frame {
     HelloFrame(String title) {
       super(title);
     }
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
       super.paint(g);
       java.awt.Insets ins = this.getInsets();
       g.drawString("Hello, World!", ins.left + 25, ins.top + 25);

     {
       HelloFrame fr = new HelloFrame("Hello");
       fr.addWindowListener(
         new WindowAdapter() {
           public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
           {
             System.exit( 0 );
           }
         }
       );
       fr.setResizable(true);
       fr.setSize(500, 100);
       fr.setVisible(true);
     }
   }

Java applet

Java applets work in conjunction with HTML files.

   <HTML>
   <HEAD>
   <TITLE>Hello World</TITLE>
   </HEAD>
   <BODY>
   HelloWorld Program says:


   <APPLET CODE="HelloWorld.class" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=100>
   </APPLET>
   </BODY>
   </HTML>
   import java.applet.*;
   import java.awt.*;
   public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
       g.drawString("Hello, world!", 100, 50);
     }
   }

JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language used in HTML files. To demo this program Cut and Paste the following code into any HTML file.

   <script language="javascript">
   function helloWorld()
   {
       javascript: alert("Hello World");
   }
   </script>
   <a href="javascript:this.location()"
    onclick="javascript:helloWorld();">Hello World Example</a>
An easier method uses JavaScript implicitly, calling the reserved alert function. Cut and paste the following line inside the <BODY> .... </BODY> HTML tags.
   <a href="#" onclick="alert('Hello World')">Hello World Example</a>
