Dart Get Started

Getting started with Dart means writing a program file and running it. The program file in this course is main.dart.

This file holds one statement inside main. The statement shows one line.

void main() {
  print('Ready');
}

Step one appears above Step two in the output. The order on screen matches the order in the file.

void main() {
  print('Step one');
  print('Step two');
}

This file holds two statements. Each statement shows its own line.

void main() {
  print('My program');
  print('It works');
}

Example

void main() {
  print('Program starts');
  print('Program ends');
}

In this example, the first statement shows Program starts. The second statement shows Program ends below the first line.

Edit the code, then press Run.

Running is simulated · DartPad
