Traditionally, programmers are taught the basics via command line output:
1. TEXT IN →You write your code as text.2. TEXT OUT → Your code produces text output on the command line.
3. TEXT INTERACTION → The user can enter text on the command line to interact with the program.
The text output of the first program says “ Hello, World! ”

2. VISUALS OUT → Your code produces visuals in a window.
3. MOUSE INTERACTION → The user can interact with those visuals via the mouse.
Processing ’s “ Hello, World! ” might look something like this:
