Hello World in Octave

In this tutorial, we will learn to code the Hello World script using the Octave software on the Ubuntu Linux machine. A common way to test something new is to create a simple “Hello World” program with the language or tools we are learning. Let’s get started.

Prerequisite

Install the Octave Application on the Linux machine.

Click on the Show applications >> Search for Octave >> Click on the GNU Octave icon.

This should launch the Octave GUI.

Hello World

>> disp(‘Hello World’);
Hello World

disp

disp is a built-in function for displaying values on the screen. Please note that the output from the disp function always ends with a newline. To learn more about the function, type ‘help disp’ on the Command Window prompt.
