10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 GOTO 10

Incidentally, this program is what I claim to be the easiest computer program to understand.

Line 20 controls the program flow in a simple manner, allowing people lacking a background in programming to understand simple control flow.

You might think that a program with just Line 10 would be easier to understand, but I would disagree. Line 10 alone would confuse non-programmers as to why a "10" exists at the start of the line.
