Apart from this. here’s the typical hello world. Since I’m doing Java at the moment, in Java it is:

public class HelloWorld{

public static void main(String[] argv){

System.out.println(”Hello World”);

}

}

Looks ugly.. Here’s a python version

print “Hello World”

To top it off, here’s what I’d do in assembly. Of course it’ll only run on a *nix box (syscalls) but whatever..

.text
.global _start

_start:
movl $len, %edx
movl $msg, %ecx
movl $1,%ebx
movl $4,%eax
int $0×80

movl $0,%ebx
movl $1,%eax
int $0×80

.data

msg:
.ascii “Hello World\n”
len = . – msg

This is probably enough of hello world for now. I can add some more but it’s just going to be redundant…
