Talk:Hello World Tutorial

Wackozacko:

Should we add a note about comments somewhere on this page? It's the first in the series on the tutorials page, so it would make the most sense here. Certainly not worth a new page to itself. [[User:My hat stinks|my_hat_stinks]] 17:21, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
: I actually came here specifically to ask that question. I Have just started going through the tutorials and got to the page [[Conditional statements]] where comments are used without any introduction. This is the most logical place. I suggest a small bit of reordering putting the '''print''' command first and introducing comments there. Perhaps

To simply print it, type:
--Simple Print
print("Hello World!")

To print it letter by letter, type:
--Slow Print
textutils.slowPrint("Hello World!")
Please don't overuse slowprint. If you share your code it can annoy some users.

You can also use:
write("Hello World!\n")
'''\n''' is known as the newline character and makes any following output start on the next line. (print does this automatically!)

: And then put a comment ''The lines beginning with '''--''' are not necessary for the program to function but are comments. When a program runs it will completely skip these lines. However, it is recommended that you get into the habit of commenting your code for readability and to help you or others understand the code if you return to it after some time.''
: I also made some other minor adjustments to the text above, hopefully improving readability and accuracy. [[User:Wackozacko|Wackozacko]] 16:18, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

Seems a little messy to me, but all the information should be there. [[User:My hat stinks|my_hat_stinks]] 18:49, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

:The first line under heading '''Available Conditions''' is unfinished and I'm not sure what is actually meant to be said. [[User:Wackozacko|Wackozacko]] 15:59, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

:Also, consider changing ''"The "~=" condition compares two values to see if they are the same, and if they are '''not''' the same, the condition is met and the if statement passes."'' to ''"The "~=" condition compares two values to see if they are '''not''' the same. If so, the condition is met and the if statement passes."'' [[User:Wackozacko|Wackozacko]] 15:59, 3 September 2012 (EDT)
