Kotlin program: Print 'Hello' and name on separate lines

Last update on February 04 2025 06:25:49 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Kotlin program to print 'Hello' on screen and your name on a separate line.

Pre-Knowledge (Before you start!)

• Basic Kotlin Syntax: Familiarity with writing and running Kotlin programs.
• Kotlin Functions: Understanding the structure of the main() function, which serves as the entry point of a Kotlin program.
• Printing Output: Knowledge of the println() function to print text on the screen.
• Escape Sequences: Understanding how to use escape sequences like \n for creating a new line in output.
• String Literals: Ability to write string literals inside double quotes (" ") in Kotlin.

Hints (Try before looking at the solution!)

• Use the main() Function: Start by defining the main() function, which is the starting point of any Kotlin program.
• Print 'Hello': Use the println() function to print the word "Hello".
• Add Your Name on a New Line: Use the escape sequence \n within the string to move your name to the next line.
  • Example: println("Hello\nYourName").
• Replace Placeholder: Replace "YourName" with your actual name in the code.
• Run the Program: Execute the program to see the output displayed on two separate lines.
• Common Errors to Avoid:
  • Forgetting to include the escape sequence \n, which may result in both texts appearing on the same line.
  • Misplacing quotes or parentheses, leading to syntax errors.

Sample Solution:

Kotlin Code:

fun main() {
    println("Hello\nRenata Evangelina")
}

Sample Output:

Hello
Renata Evangelina
