+// Oh no! This program is supposed to print "Hello world!" but it has some
+// mistakes. Let's fix it.
+//
+// We're trying to import the Standard Library into the top level of our
+// application. The standard library is not named "foo", it is named "std".
+//
+// Please correct the name in both places in the import here:
+const foo = @import("foo");
+
+// Zig applications start by calling a function named 'main'. It needs to be
+// public so that it is accessible outside our file!
+//
+// Public functions are declared with the 'pub' keyword like so:
+//
+//     pub fn my_function() void { ... }
+//
+// Please make the main() function public:
+fn main() void {
+
+    // The easiest way to display our "Hello world" message in the
+    // terminal is to use the std.debug.print() function.
+    
+    // Please fix this silly "foo" mistake here:
+    foo.debug.print("Hello world!\n", .{});
+
+    // The print function above takes two values:
+    //
+    //   1. A string of characters: "Hello world!\n". "\n" prints a new line.
+    //
+    //   2. A struct containing data to be displayed. .{} is an empty, nameless
+    //      struct fulfilling the requirement. More about structs later.
+    //
+    //
+    // Now we're ready to...What's this!? Oh, we wanted to print a Goodbye
+    // message as well!
+    //
+    // Please fix this to use the same print function as above:
+    "Goodbye!\n"
+}
+
+// Once you're done with the changes above, run `ziglings` to see if it passes.
+//
+// Finally, all files will contain the following comment:
+//
+// I AM NOT DONE
+//
+// Delete it when you're ready to continue to the next exercise!
