Getting into the coding

Before Getting into this

you must know the basics of a programming language

First we need to learn about all commands/instruction that melon can do, but right now let's try to print Hello World! and explain the code on the way

Printing Hello World!

Step 1: Create a new project with Melon_Language --new-project <path/to/your/project>

Step 2: Open main.mlf

Step 4: Type the following code:

{
    importl
    graphics

    println
    "Hello%0aWorld!"
}

Step 5: Goto Melon Language CLI and type run

At first we type { because that defines the start of the file, without it the interpreter will show you an error. then we type importl which stands for "import library" which imports a specific library, for Hello World! we need graphics library so we import it. then we type println which stands for "print line" which prints a text with new line, then we specify the text to print in our case it's Hello World! but interpreter doesn't handle spaces inside strings so we use %0a for space.
