# Hello World
|
|
|
|
The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".
|
|
|
|
["Hello, World!"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) is
|
|
the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language
|
|
or environment.
|
|
|
|
The objectives are simple:
|
|
|
|
- Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
|
|
- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
|
|
- Submit your solution and check it at the website.
|
|
|
|
If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.
|
|
|
|
## Resources
|
|
|
|
Remember to check out the Perl 6 [documentation](https://docs.perl6.org/) and
|
|
[resources](https://perl6.org/resources/) pages for information, tips, and
|
|
examples if you get stuck.
|
|
|
|
## Running the tests
|
|
|
|
There is a test script included with the exercise; a file with the extension
|
|
`.t`. You can run the test script for the exercise by executing the command
|
|
`prove . --exec=perl6` in the exercise directory. You can also add the `-v` flag
|
|
e.g. `prove . --exec=perl6 -v` to display all tests, including any optional
|
|
tests marked as 'TODO'.
