nihilismus's solution to Hello World on the Elm track

Instructions

Test suite

Solution

The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".

"Hello, World!" is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment.

The objectives are simple:

Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
Submit your solution and check it at the website.

If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.

Elm Installation

Refer to the Installing Elm page for information about installing elm.

Writing the Code

The code you have to write is located inside the src/ directory of the exercise. Elm automatically installs packages dependencies the first time you run the tests so we can start by running the tests from the exercise directory with:

$ elm-test

To automatically run tests again when you save changes:

$ elm-test --watch

As you work your way through the tests suite in the file tests/Tests.elm, be sure to remove the skip <| calls from each test until you get them all passing!
