🌍 The "Hello, World!" Tradition 🌍
Every programmer in the world starts with this same program!
👋
Amazing Facts:
- 🏆 This tradition is over 50 years old!
- 🌟 Google creators started with "Hello, World!"
- 💻 Mark Zuckerberg wrote this program too
- 🎮 Game developers all began here
- 🚀 Even NASA programmers started this way!
💻 Let's Write Our First C Program! 💻
Type exactly what I type - every character matters!
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}
This is real programmer code!
🔍 Understanding Our Code! 🔍
#include <stdio.h>
📚 "Hey computer, I want to use input/output functions!"
int main()
🚪 "This is where our program starts - the front door!"
printf("Hello, World!");
📢 "Print this message on the screen!"
return 0;
✅ "Program finished successfully!"
💾 Save & Run Our Program! 💾
1. 💾 Save as "my_first_program.c"
2. ▶️ Click "Build & Run" button
3. 👀 Watch the magic happen!
4. 🎉 See "Hello, World!" appear!
🎊 The magic moment is coming! 🎊
🛠️ If We Get Errors - No Problem! 🛠️
Even professional programmers get errors! Let's fix them together!
Missing ;
Every statement needs a semicolon!
Like a period in English
Wrong Quotes
Use straight quotes " not curly ones
Computers are picky!
Spelling Errors
printf not Print or PRINTF
Exact spelling matters
Missing Brackets
Every { needs a }
They come in pairs!
