What is spagetti code/a "Hello World" program?
Spaghetti code is exactly what it sounds like. It's stringy, messy, and gets all over the place. It's hard to pick it up, and you would in general just be better off cutting it into smaller pieces that are easier to deal with. So, like SJ's early program, full of GOTO statements, etc, instead of using "nice" loop structures, functions, and other things that make writing and reading programs easier.

"Hello World" is the traditional first program. All it does is output the text "Hello World" to standard output, then exits.
