Hello World program in Kotlin

In Kotlin, the traditional "Hello, World!" program is quite simple. Here's how you can write it:

fun main() {
    println("Hello, World!")
}

To run this:

  • Make sure you have the Kotlin compiler installed. You can download it from the official Kotlin website or use SDKMAN, a popular tool to manage parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits.

  • Save the code above to a file named HelloWorld.kt.

  • Compile the Kotlin code with:

kotlinc HelloWorld.kt -include-runtime -d HelloWorld.jar
  • Run the compiled program with:
java -jar HelloWorld.jar

Upon running, you should see the output:

Hello, World!

Alternatively, if you are using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA with Kotlin support, you can simply create a new Kotlin project or file and then run the program directly from the IDE.
