Running Your First Program

If you have already installed Wave following the previous installation guide, it's time to run your first program!

Creating the hello.wave File​

First, create a new file named hello.wave.

Writing the Code​

Open the hello.wave file and write the following code:

fun main() {
    println("Hello Wave");
}

Here, fun main() represents the entry point of the program, and the println function prints text to the screen.

Running the Program​

Now, let's run the Wave program. Open your terminal and enter the following command:

wavec run hello.wave

Checking the Output​

When you execute the program, you should see the following output:

Hello Wave

Now you have confirmed that Wave is installed and working correctly. Congratulations! You have successfully run your first program.
