+Let's start with a simple "Hello World" program. The simplest Hello World you can write in C3 looks like this:
 
-```c
+```cpp
 import std::io;

 fn void main()
 {
     io::printn("Hello, World!");
 }
 ```
+The `import` statement imports other modules, and we want `println` which

 ### Compiling the program
 
 Let's take the above program and put it in a file called `hello_world.c3`.
 
 We can then compile it:
 
-```
-> c3c compile hello_world.c3
+```sh
+$ c3c compile hello_world.c3
 ```
 
 And run it:
 
-```
-> ./hello_world
+```sh
+$ ./hello_world
 ```
 
 It should print `Hello, World!` and return back to the command line prompt.

 If you followed along so far: Congratulations! You're now up and running with C3.
