We will write Hello world in different computer languages:

• PHP
• Python
• C
• Java

Hello world in different computer languages will be implemented using Termux Linux emulator on an android smart phone.

PHP

PHP is server side programing language. There are many well known applications have been written using PHP such Meta’s Facebook, WordPress, Drupal, SugarCRM, Joomla, etc. Very popular language for Web development.

Hello world in C language

C language is a general purpose system programming language and it’s one of the oldest programming language. You have compile your codes using a compiler and create executable binary file to run the program.

See implementation of checking if number is a prime or not at https://broadoakdata.uk/hello-c-termux/

~ $ more hello.c                   #include <stdio.h>                 int main(){                          printf("Hello world\n");           return 0;                        }
~ $ gcc hello.c -o hello
~ $ ./hello
Hello world

Hello world in Java language

Java is an object oriented language by design. You also need to compile your code into byte codes using Java compiler. The bytes codes will sun on any systems which support Java.

~ $ more hello.java                class hello{
    public static void main(String args[]){       System.out.println("Hello Java");                                    }                              }
~ $ javac hello.java
~ $ java hello
Hello Java
