Hello, check, check !
The typical first program to check whether compiler, IDE are working or not...
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World);
return 0;
}
fun fact, it is a 7 line code, but same work can be done with only 2 lines of code!
#include<stdio.h>
int main(void){printf("Hello World");}
Write this code character by character in your preferred code editor and run. If everything is alright then you will see your computer welcoming you to the world of programming.
