General language examples include: a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version and a Python version.

Related Data and Programs:

Simple example programs or scripts are also available for a C version, and a C++ version, and a FORTRAN77 version, and a FORTRAN90 version, and a MATLAB version.

Source Code:

HELLO is a simple example to print out "Hello, world!".

• hello.py, the script.
• hello.sh, commands to run the script.
• hello_output.txt, output from a run of the script.

MAIN_DEMO shows how a Python file can include text that only executes if the file is called directly, as a "main program". In that case, the text might, for instance, run a demonstration or test of the functions within the file.

• main_demo.py, the script.
• main_demo.sh, commands to run the script.
• main_demo_output.txt, output from a run of the script.

SUPPRESS_SPACES demonstrates that, when printing, you can suppress the spaces that are automatically inserted between successively printed items.

• suppress_spaces.py, the script.
• suppress_spaces.sh, commands to run the script.
• suppress_spaces_output.txt, output from a run of the script.

• timestamp.py, prints the YMDHMS date as a timestamp.
