Basic Dart Program Explained

• void main() is the starting point where the execution of your program begins.
• Every program starts with a main function.
• The curly braces {} represent the beginning and the ending of a block of code.
• print(“Hello World!”); prints Hello World! on screen.
• Each code statement must end with a semicolon.

Basic Dart Program For Printing Name

void main()
{
    var name = "John";
    print(name);

Dart Program To Join One Or More Variables

Here $variableName is used to join variables. This joining process in dart is called string interpolation.

  var firstName = "John";
  var lastName = "Doe";
  print("Full name is $firstName $lastName");
}

Full name is John Doe

Dart Program For Basic Calculation

Performing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in dart.

void main() {
int num1 = 10; //declaring number1
int num2 = 3; //declaring number2
  
// Calculation
int sum = num1 + num2;
int diff = num1 - num2;
int mul = num1 * num2;
double div = num1 / num2; // It is double because it outputs number with decimal.
  
// displaying the output
print("The sum is $sum");
print("The diff is $diff");
print("The mul is $mul");
print("The div is $div");
}

The sum is 13
The diff is 7
The mul is 30
The div is 3.3333333333333335

Create Full Dart Project

It’s nice to work on a single file, but if your project gets bigger, you need to manage configurations, packages, and assets files. So creating a dart project will help you to manage this all.

dart create <project_name>

This will create a simple dart project with some ready-made code.

Steps To Create Dart Project

• Open folder location on command prompt/terminal.
• Type dart create project_name (For E.g. dart create first_app)
• Type cd first_app
• Type code . to open project with visual studio code
• To check the main dart file go to bin/first_app.dart and edit your code.

Run Dart Project

First, open the project location on the command/terminal and run the project with this command.

dart run
