# Hello World
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="screenshot.png" alt="" /></div>
Prints `Hello World!` to the screen using GBDK's `printf` function.
## Source
Includes `<gb/gb.h>`. This file contains all Gameboy specific functions.
It's the one you're going to use the most.
```c
#include <gb/gb.h>
```
Includes `<stdio.h>` it contains funtions for basic file/console input and
output.
```c
#include <stdio.h>
```
A C program always starts by calling the `main()` function. If you are
unfamiliar with this I suggest reading up on C first.
```c
void main() {
```
Prints the string `Hello World!` to the screen. Internally it uses the
background layer to do so as you can see in the VRAM of your favorite
emulator.
```c
printf("Hello World!");
```
Using `\n` you can create a new line. In this case it is used to create some
space between the previous sentence and the next.
```c
printf("\n\nPress Start");
}
```
