Yes, what OS did the Egyptians use?

OS is not part of an HELLO WORLD example.

Usually it goes something like this, for example HTML:

<!doctype html>

<html>

<body>HELLO WORLD</body>

</html>

Then you explain what a tag is, why they need closing or not, what the body is, etc. This is a basic HELLO WORLD example. If I dumped the above code and says done, that will be useless to anybody.

If "hello world" is about the process to get to showing "hello world" then I guess some part of the OS/computer is stone and chisels.

SunOS, clearly.
