### The "Hello, world!" Program
10-
11-
As a first example, we use the standard "Hello, world!" program to demonstrate the use of the Scala tools without knowing too much about the language.
12-
13-
object HelloWorld {
14-
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
15-
println("Hello, world!")
16-
}
17-
}
18-
19-
The structure of this program should be familiar to Java programmers: it consists of the method `main` which prints out a friendly greeting to the standard output.
20-
21-
We assume that both the [Scala software]({{ site.baseurl }}/download) and the user environment are set up correctly. For example:
22-
23-
| Environment | Variable | Value (example)
24-
|:------------|:-----------------|:---------------
25-
| Unix | `$SCALA_HOME` | `/usr/local/share/scala`
26-
| | `$PATH` | `$PATH:$SCALA_HOME/bin`
27-
| Windows | `%SCALA_HOME%` | `c:\Progra~1\Scala`
28-
| | `%PATH%` | `%PATH%;%SCALA_HOME%\bin`

### Run it interactively!
32-
33-
The `scala` command starts an interactive shell where Scala expressions are interpreted interactively.
34-
35-
> scala
36-
This is a Scala shell.
37-
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
38-
Type :help for more information.
39-
40-
scala> object HelloWorld {
41-
| def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
42-
| println("Hello, world!")
43-
| }
44-
| }
45-
defined module HelloWorld
46-
47-
scala> HelloWorld.main(Array())
48-
Hello, world!
49-
50-
scala>:q
51-
>
52-
53-
The shortcut `:q` stands for the internal shell command `:quit` used to exit the interpreter.
54-

### Compile it!
56-
57-
The `scalac` command compiles one (or more) Scala source file(s) and generates Java bytecode which can be executed on any [standard JVM](https://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/). The Scala compiler works similarly to `javac`, the Java compiler of the [Java SDK](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html).
58-
59-
> scalac HelloWorld.scala
60-
61-
By default `scalac` generates the class files into the current working directory. You may specify a different output directory using the `-d` option.
62-
63-
> scalac -d classes HelloWorld.scala
64-
65-
66-
### Execute it!
67-
68-
The `scala` command executes the generated bytecode with the appropriate options:
69-
70-
> scala HelloWorld
71-
72-
`scala` allows us to specify command options, such as the `-classpath` (alias `-cp`) option:
73-
74-
> scala -cp classes HelloWorld
75-
76-
The argument of the `scala` command has to be a top-level object. If that object extends trait scala.App, then all statements contained in that object will be executed; otherwise you have to add a method `main` which will act as the entry point of your program.
77-
78-
Here is how the "Hello, world!" example looks like using the `App` trait:
79-
80-
object HelloWorld extends App {
81-
println("Hello, world!")
82-
}
83-
84-
### Script it!
85-
86-
We may also run our example as a shell script or batch command (see the examples in the man pages of the `scala` command).
87-
88-
The [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) shell script `script.sh` containing the following Scala code (and shell preamble):
89-
90-
#!/bin/sh
91-
exec scala "$0" "$@"
92-
!#
93-
94-
object HelloWorld extends App {
95-
println("Hello, world!")
96-
}
97-
98-
can be run directly from the command shell:
99-
100-
> ./script.sh
101-
102-
**Note**: We assume here that the file `script.sh` has execute permission and the search path for the `scala` command is specified in the `PATH` environment variable.
