😀 Hello World

We write Emojicode programs in files with the extension .emojic or .🍇.

Almost all the code in an Emojicode program will live inside a 🏁 block. A block is a collection of code. The 🏁 block indicates all the code that should run when the file is executed.

Within our larger program, we can indicate one or more blocks of code with 🍇 🍉 code blocks:

• 🍇 to indicate the start of the code block
• 🍉 to indicate the end of the code block

So a basic Emojicode file will have the following structure:

🏁 🍇
  Some code go here
🍉

To print in Emojicode, we use the 😀 ❗️ method:

😀 🔤Hello, World!🔤❗️

This prints “Hello, World!” to the terminal.

• 🔤Hello, World!🔤 is a string. It holds the message we want to print to the terminal.
• We wrap the thing we want to print with a 😀 at the start and a ❗️ at the end.

Here’s a program called welcome.emojic that prints a string:
