“Hello, World!” will get you writing some Clojure and familiarize yourself with the Exercism workflow. Completing it unlocks the rest of the Clojure Track.
Watch our "Introduction to Hello, World" video to get started 👇
The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".
"Hello, World!" is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment.
The objectives are simple:
If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.
Clojure exercises in exercism support the two most common tools for dependency management and testing, leiningen and the Clojure CLI.
You will find a test file named hello_world_test.clj
inside test
directory.
Write your code in src/hello_world.clj
. It should use the namespace hello-world
so that tests can pick it up.
$ clj -X:test
$ lein test
lein test hello-world-test
Ran 3 tests containing 3 assertions.
0 failures, 0 errors.
Then submit the exercise using:
$ exercism submit src/hello_world.clj
