# Command line programs

Command line programs are the simplest of all SplootCode programs.

They consist of two main components: 

* **The program**\
  Which defines what the user interactions will lead to
* **The interactive console**\
  The place where users are able to interact with the program

You can interact with the program by typing commands and arguments directly into the terminal, which then executes the requested task.&#x20;

Here we answered the program's question, and sure enough it was registered as by the program!
