Hello, world!
To display text on the screen, use show
:
show "Hello, world!"
Hello, world!
Text is written inside double quotes ("..."
).
show
accepts numbers, too:
show (1 + 2)
3
You need parentheses there because operators like +
have precedence over whitespace, so show 1 + 2
is interpreted as (show 1) + 2
. Rather than displaying 1 on the screen and adding the result to 2, we want to add 1 to 2 and display the result. You can use parentheses like this almost anywhere!
