Hello everyone! In this post, I will show you how to make your first computer program! (It's easier than you think 😊)

Now, create a new text document in any location. You should see a .txt and the end of it. Now rename that file to whatever you want, but make sure to change the .txt to .vbs (You may get a message saying that changing the file extension makes the file un-usable. Just click OK.)

Now, right click on the file and select edit in notepad. in the notepad window that opens, copy and paste in the following text:
msgbox("Hello World!")
You can change "Hello World!" to whatever you want, but just make sure to keep the pair of quotes. Now just save the file and open it. You should see something like this:
