Empty program
In this task, the goal is to create the simplest possible program that is still considered "correct."
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Ada
Compiler: GCC 4.1.2
procedure Empty is begin null; end;
BASIC
Compiler: QBASIC
END
C
Compiler: GCC 4.0.3
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; }
C++
Compiler: GCC 4.0.3
int main () { }
C#
Compiler: Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2005 Compiler version 8.00
static class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { } }
Haskell
Compiler: any Haskell98 compiler
module Main where
main :: IO () main = return ()
Java
Compiler: Sun javac, JDK 1.5.0 and up
public class EmptyMainClass { public static void main(String[] args) { } }
public class EmptyApplet extends java.applet.Applet { @Override public void init() { } }
Compiler: Sun javac, JDK 1.0 and Up
public class EmptyMainClass { public static void main(String[] args) { } }
public class EmptyApplet extends java.applet.Applet { public void init() { } }
@Override will be telling the compiler need to override this function. It's presents from JDK 5.0 (1.5.0) and up
Actually this is not strictly correct. The smallest possible correct program in Java is an empty source file.
