HELLO WORLD Ready for creating your first SuperCollider program?

Press [ctrl+Enter] to evaluate the code. “Hello world” appears in the Post window. Congratulations! You’ve just written and executed your first SC program.

Figure [fig:scide] shows a screenshot of the SuperCollider IDE (Integrated Development Environment) when you first open it. Let’s take a moment to get to know it a bit.
