# Hello World The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!". ["Hello, World!"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment. The objectives are simple: - Write a function that returns 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. ## Elm Installation Refer to the [Exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/elm) for Elm installation and learning resources. ## Writing the Code The first time you start an exercise, you'll need to ensure you have the appropriate dependencies installed. ```bash $ npm install ``` Execute the tests with: ```bash $ npm test ``` Automatically run tests again when you save changes: ```bash $ npm run watch ``` As you work your way through the test suite, be sure to remove the `skip <|` calls from each test until you get them all passing! ## Source This is an exercise to introduce users to using Exercism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
