hello, world

The first program you learn in a basic survey of a new programming language. Sometimes, but not always the program's sole function is to output the words "Hello World" on the display.

I've been working with Enterprise Java for weeks, and I'm not even at the "Hello, World" level.

copy

Hear and comprehend, as in verbal communication. Radio slang used to determine the proper transfer of a message. Proper responses would run along the lines of "Roger." or "I copy."

"We've got to get this truckload of cow parts through the state border by dawn, copy?."
