Because it is typically one of the simplest programs possible in most programming languages, it is by tradition often used to illustrate to beginners the most basic syntax of a programming language, or to verify that a language or system is operating correctly. [Wikipedia: Hello World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program) ## Hello World Quote! > Eventually I found it had been working all along-but didn't show anything on screen until it had the first full page of text. I inserted 30 new lines, and suddenly my toy said 'hello world'. An hour later I understood alphabet shifting rather better!
