PureBasic - Hello World Example

Hello World Example

The following single line of PureBasic code will create a standalone executable (3.00 KB (3,072 bytes) on Windows version) that displays a message box with the text "Hello World".

MessageRequester("Message Box", "Hello World")

And the following variant of the same code, which instead uses an inline Windows API call with no need for declarations or other external references, will create an even smaller 2.00 KB (2,048 bytes) standalone executable for Windows.

MessageBox_(0, "Hello World", "Message Box", 0)

Famous quotes containing the word world:

    “The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
