Instructions

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:

  • Modify the provided code so that it produces the string "Hello, World!".
  • Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
  • Submit your solution and check it at the website.

If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.

Functions and testing

You are provided with a starting definition for the SayHi function.

function SayHi : string;
begin
  result := 'Goodbye, Mars!';
end;

The test runner takes this function and runs it, comparing the value it returns to the value it expects. Use this starting function definition as the basis for your solution.
