Finally did it. It took effort, sweat, blood and every inch of intelligence I have (and maybe some help from my professor), but I finally did it, I set up my programming tools (APPLAUSE). Okay probably it wasn´t that hard to begin with but it sure seems hard when you don´t know what you´re doing and your terminal just keeps giving you ERROR messages like it is enjoying itself.

Once you accomplish that, the “Hello World” program everyone is talking about turns out to be really easy (It is even easier when all you did was copying everything that the professor did in his explanation).

But anyways, drumrolls:

There it is, majestic as always. Basically what you do is include the iostream so that your message can be shown, the “using namespace std” on the next line is optional but it makes your life easier by abstaining you from writing “std” before every line so I´ll take it. Then you open the program, give an output message and end the line. Yeah, it is as simple as I explained it, maybe even more.

So thank you for reading my weird explanation, hope I helped you find whatever it is that you are pursuing in life, and yeah of course with the program too.

See you soon, program on.
