Running Your First Program

If you’ve already installed Wave following the previous installation guide, let’s now run your very first program!

Creating the hello.wave File​

First, create a new file named hello.wave.

Writing the Code​

Write the following code inside the hello.wave file:

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 run the program, you should see the following output:

Hello Wave

Now you can confirm that Wave is properly installed and working. Congratulations! You’ve successfully run your first program.
