Processing is a programming language for creation of digital arts and multimedia content, allowing non-programmers to

|
|
|
learn fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context.
|
|
|
|
|
While the language is based off on Java language,
|
|
|
|
|
its syntax has been largely influenced by both Java and Javascript syntaxes. [See more here](https://processing.org/reference/)

The language also comes with its official IDE to compile and run the scripts.

Since Processing is based on Java,
|
|
|
|
|
the syntax for its comments are the same as Java (as you may have noticed above)!

// In Processing, your program's entry point is a function named setup() with a void return type.
|
|
|
|
|
// Note! The syntax looks strikingly similar to that of C++
|
|
|
|
|
void setup() {
|
|
|
|
|
// This prints out the classic output "Hello World!" to the console when run.
|
|
|
|
|
println("Hello World!"); // Another language with a semi-column trap, aint it?
|
|
|
|

}
