Quick start

This quick start page introduces the basics of writing and running your first program in Cambo. The goal is to establish a clear foundation so you can understand how programs are organized and begin to develop more complex applications.

Hello World!

A "hello, world!" program is simple program that prints the message "hello, world!" to the screen, typically in a terminal or console. It's traditionally the first program written when learning a new programming language.

To begin, create a file with .kh extension using your prefered code editor. This file will contain your program's source code.

Like many programming languages, Cambo has a defined entry point called main function, which serves as the starting point of the program execution.

You can copy and paste the following code into your file.

int main(string args[]){

  print("hello, world!");

  return 0;
}

Then, compile the program using the following command:

cambo main.kh

Cambo compiler will generate an executable named a.out, which you can then run

./a.out

Finally the phrase hello, world! will be printed in your teminal

hello, world!
