Usage

To use the user/socialMedia package in your Ballerina project, import it along with the ballerina/io module for output handling. (Note: For this example, we are assuming the organization name is user and the package name is socialMedia.)

import ballerina/io;
import user/socialMedia;

public function main() {
    string greeting = socialMedia:hello("Ballerina");
    io:println(greeting); // Output: Hello, Ballerina
}

The hello function can be called without any arguments to get the default greeting:

public function main() {
    string greeting = socialMedia:hello();
    io:println(greeting); // Output: Hello, World!
}
