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.

// Single-line comment starts with //

/*
    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?
