Chapter 1.3: Running A Program

Before we do anything, let's keep organized! Make a directory specifically for this book, maybe glang_learning and move into it. Create a file titled "main.glang" and open it in an IDE or text editor.

For the record, .glang files can have any name. The cool thing about GLang, is it's ability to run any program with the .glang extension.

Let's get writing now!

Inside the main.glang file, we are going to write the following (you may not understand it, but that's ok!):

bark("Hello, World!");

Save this file and open the all might terminal in the same directory as the "main.glang" file (use the cd command, or right click > open terminal in that directory). To run this file, we type the following:

glang main.glang

 That's it! You should see Hello, World! inside the terminal. Congrats on writing the first line of GLang 🎉🎉

Your Challenge 🤔

Modify the Hello, World! inside quotation marks ("") to display the message Learning to code is easy! inside the terminal.
