What is the starting point for a computer program?

Question

The above question is asked in the C++ course (Basic Concepts > Hello World > question 3/6). The correct answer was Main function, but is that universally true of *every* computer program, or is the question specific to a C++ computer program?

Answer 1

No, not every programming language needs an entry point (main function) like C, C++, Java, C# ect. One example is Python which does not require you to have a main function to start your program.
