Chapter two Hello world program
by Christos Tzeremes · in Torque Game Engine · 09/27/2004 (1:11 pm) · 5 replies
Hey guys. Im new to the forums and I got this book because I was getting started with a project using the torque engine. I have no previous knowledge of programming but I am learning as fast as I can. I bought this book to help me out (along with some others) and I have some questions.
In chapter two I wrote down exactly the program it says in the book but when I run it it doesn't print Hello World. I know this is a small program but I dont want to start off on the wrong foot.
I typed
Function main()
//--------------------------------------------------------------
// Entry point for the program
//--------------------------------------------------------------
{
print("Hello World");
}
And the error message in the console log Im getting says this
HelloWorld.cs
Compiling CH2/HelloWorld.cs...
CH2/HelloWorld.cs Line: 8 - Syntax error.
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 15.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
//==============================================================
Function main(##)##
//--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Error report complete.
Does anyone know what is wrong? Or is it my stupidity? Thanks for any help.

In the book, the code is longer (there are additional comments), but even that doesn't have 15 lines. Line 8 in that is the "function main()" statement.

What is on lines 8 and 15? The code you posted has only 7 lines.In the book, the code is longer (there are additional comments), but even that doesn't have 15 lines. Line 8 in that is the "function main()" statement.

Well, strictly speaking, you don't need the additional comments, but including them is a good habit to get into.
