Level 1. What is hica?

hica is a programming language: a way of giving instructions to a computer. You write your instructions in a .hc file, and hica turns them into a program your computer can run.

What makes hica special?

• It reads almost like English.
• Everything you write gives back a value: there are no “void” surprises.
• Your code gets translated into C, one of the fastest languages in the world, so your programs run really fast.

Think of it this way: you write the easy version, and hica’s translator turns it into the hardcore version for the computer.
