Hello, World!

Hello, World!

As usual, the Hello, World! example is the simplest in the book. The code consists of this:

print("Hello, World!")

Now, let's take it a step further.

func greet(name)
    print("Hello, " + name + "!")
end

print("What is your name?")
var name = input()
cls()
greet(name)

Whoa. What the heck does that do?

First, we define a function, greet(name), which takes one parameter, name. The function then prints out "Hello, <name>!"

Then, we ask the user for their name by assigning console input to a variable called name.

Then, we clear the screen using cls(), and greet the user with greet(name), passing in the name they typed into the console.
