# Hello, World!
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"Hello, World!".println
|
|
```
|
|
This calls the `println` function with the argument
|
|
`"Hello, World!"` (a string).
|
|
|
|
`println` then prints the argument (to stdout),
|
|
causing it to show up in your terminal.
|

|
# Hello, Variable!
|
|
|
|
To declare a variable in mers, use `:=`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
greeting := "Hello, World!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To retrieve its value, simply write its name.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
greeting.println
|
|
```

# Functions
|
|
|
|
Functions represent actions. Many represent transformations from some input to some output.
|
|
They are written as `argument -> action`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
a -> if a false else true
|
|
```
