* Compilation: javac HelloWorld.java
* Execution: java HelloWorld

* Prints "Hello, World". By tradition, this is everyone's first program.

* % java HelloWorld
* Hello, World

* These 17 lines of text are comments. They are not part of the program;
* they serve to remind us about its properties. The first two lines tell
* us what to type to compile and test the program. The next line describes
* the purpose of the program. The next few lines give a sample execution
* of the program and the resulting output. We will always include such
* lines in our programs and encourage you to do the same.
