<!-- NOTE: The following is an exercise. We need to find out how to write code with erlang and did not know how to write a comment first. So we used an ASP file commenting style to figure it out -->

<!-- write a hello world sample program in erlang programming language -->
<!-- create a file called hello.erl -->
<!-- compile the file using the erlc command -->
<!-- run the file using the erl command -->

-module(hello).
-export([hello_world/0]).
hello_world() ->
    io:fwrite("Hello World\n").


<!-- write a hello world sample program in elixir programming language -->
<!-- create a file called hello.exs -->

IO.puts "Hello World"

<!-- run the file using the elixir command -->
