Tutorial Exercise
Overview

Introduction

“Hello, World!” will get you writing some Scala and familiarize yourself with the Exercism workflow. Completing it unlocks the rest of the Scala Track.

Watch our "Introduction to Hello, World" video to get started 👇

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.

Common pitfalls that you should avoid

  • Usually there is no need in Scala to use return. For a discussion see here. Or as a quote from that discussion: Don't use return, it makes Scala cry.
