The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".
"Hello, World!" is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment.
The objectives are simple:
- Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
- Submit your solution and check it at the website.
If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.
To complete this exercise, you need to implement the hello function.
You will find the type signature for hello already in place,
but it is up to you to define the function.
Please refer to the installation and learning help pages.
To run the test suite, execute the following command:
stack testNo .cabal file found in directory
You are probably running an old stack version and need to upgrade it.
No compiler found, expected minor version match with...
Try running "stack setup" to install the correct GHC...
Just do as it says and it will download and install the correct compiler version:
stack setupIf you want to play with your solution in GHCi, just run the command:
stack ghciThe exercism/haskell repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Haskell exercises.

This is an exercise to introduce users to using Exercism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
