**Note:** You can skip this exercise by running: | ||
The objectives are simple: | ||
|
||
exercism skip $TRACK_ID hello-world | ||
- Write a function that says "Hello, World!". | ||
- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds. | ||
- Submit your solution and check it at the website. | ||
|
||
## Specification | ||
|
||
Write a `Hello World!` function that can greet someone given their name. The | ||
function should return the appropriate greeting. | ||
|
||
For an input of "Alice", the response should be "Hello, Alice!". | ||
|
||
If a name is not given, the response should be "Hello, World!" | ||
|
||
## Test-Driven Development | ||
|
||
As programmers mature, they eventually want to test their code. | ||
|
||
Here at Exercism we simulate [Test-Driven | ||
Development](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) (TDD), where | ||
you write your tests before writing any functionality. The simulation comes in | ||
the form of a pre-written test suite, which will signal that you have solved | ||
the problem. | ||
|
||
It will also provide you with a safety net to explore other solutions without | ||
breaking the functionality. | ||
|
||
### A typical TDD workflow on Exercism: | ||
|
||
1. Run the test file and pick one test that's failing. | ||
2. Write some code to fix the test you picked. | ||
3. Re-run the tests to confirm the test is now passing. | ||
4. Repeat from step 1. | ||
5. Submit your solution (`exercism submit /path/to/file`) | ||
|
||
## Instructions | ||
|
||
Submissions are encouraged to be general, within reason. Having said that, it's | ||
also important not to over-engineer a solution. | ||
|
||
It's important to remember that the goal is to make code as expressive and | ||
readable as we can. However, solutions to the hello-world exercise will not be | ||
reviewed by a person, but by rikki- the robot, who will offer an encouraging | ||
word. | ||
If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise. | ||

Very nice. One note (probably to myself): while the instructions we lose in this Pull seem appropriate to remove here, they might be useful somewhere else. If we do end up choosing a
intro-to-tdd
exercise, this might be a good source for thatdescription.md
