My daughter and SIL came home today just enthusiastic from a Hello World seminar. Supposed to be the greatest thing since KY jelly. New ways of webcamming, e mail, teleconferencing, yada yada yada.
I, being an old fart, am suspicious, because I believe if it was all that good, it would be snatched up in IPOs on the first day by inside traders, Know Whut Uh Mean, Martha? They are being called upon to invest some money.
Still, I am trying to keep an open mind. Anyone else heard of this?
Steve
Can't say I've ever heard of it, Steve. But on general principle I think your gut instinct is right on. If "helloworld" is going to be so big, they would have taken the cash spent running seminars and used it to get the thing started instead. It's like the ads I occasionally hear on radio stations offering info on the "next hot cool thing - invest now on the ground floor...". Always seemed to me that if it was such a hot investment, they would not need to buy airtime on big AM radio stations to get the word out. Just my opinion. I'm not rich, so you can see where my "investment" sense has gotten me. :)
So don't take my word for anything. My advice here is, as is said, worth exactly what you paid for it...

Only when I am writing in "c". In basic or masm it would look a little different. Stan
Anyone else here who inevitably thinks of the following?
#include
main() { cout
First hit (google)
C++ was the only language I was taught. BASIC I learnt myself after I got a chuck-out Commodore 32. You only learn "Hello World" through teaching. Let's just say it isn't the first thing that springs to mind when you discover you can print messages on the screen :-).

There is missing an "int" in front of "main()".
Nick
That's the new version.
From the original K&R ...
main() { printf("hello, world\n"); }
Since there's no explicit return, it could be a void :-)

No, it _is_ "int main". int can't be left out. "void main" is invalid. Also, as he did make a "return 0", the compiler should complain twice. And going on nitpicking: The "return 0" can be left out. main is the only function where this is true.

CSEG SEGMENT 'CODE' ASSUME CS:CSEG, DS:CSEG, ES:CSEG ORG 100H
SERVO PROC FAR JMP START LEA DX, M-HI MOV AH, 9 INT 21H
MOV AL, 0 ; RETURN CODE INT 21H
M_HI db 'Hey world'
PROGRAM MAIN WRITE (6,100) 'hello, world' 100 FORMAT (' ',A) END
(defun main () (format t "hello, world"))
That brings flashbacks of C++ and Java UGH!
Yep. That's what I get for typing it in - with out the assembler handy...
