This program simply prints “Hello, World!” to standard output and then exits. It serves as a baseline, trivial test with minimal overhead to ensure that the environment is set up and functioning correctly.
Below is the reference C program. All languages must do the same work and meet these requirements:
- Print exactly one line of text: “Hello, World!\n”
- Exit with a successful status code.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\n"); // All implementations must print "Hello, World!" followed by a newline character.
return 0; // All implementations must terminate successfully.
}
