How to Implement the Solution

Syntax in Octave is based on its Octave scripting language.

One line is all it takes! The "details-hidden" nature of the languages removes the need to declare variables or classes before the fun begins. disp is the command in Octave that formats data and displays it in the command window. In this case, the data is the string "Hello, World!" (denoted by the quotations).

How to Run the Solution

If you want to try this out yourself:

• Visit the Octave Download page, and download the version for your Operating System (OS).
• Follow the installation instructions for your OS.
• Download the program sample file.

Run the script like this:

octave -qf hello-world.m

Alternatively, you can use Octave Online. Just copy/paste the script into the input command prompt and press Enter.
