Monitors?

Hello, I am very new to Computer Craft, and I want to know a few things. one thing.
I don't know how to program, I was planning to get to that tomorrow, but I want to know how to post a message on a monitor. Whenever I try, it just comes up with a bunch of code and mumbo-jumbo that I don't (and won't) understand (until tomorrow). Could someone help me? I know how to create programs and such, I just need the way to make text appear on monitors.

Well, you need to make a program that does it, so…
Anyway, you can use the monitor program to run a program on a monitor:
> monitor <side> <program>
Otherwise, you need to create a program and redirect the terminal output to the monitor before printing the text on the screen.

to use a monitor you must first have a program then use this.
> monitor [side] [program]

for example in the computer you must type this program to run that program on your computer…
so i created program x…
my monitor is on the top…
so i run program…
monitor top x


or check out the term api so that you can redirect the output to the monitor

Yes, all of this I know, making the program is the hard part for me. I know how to display it.

I need to know what the program (words?) are for the program to display text on the monitors. I'm not a programmer so don't judge me on my computer vocabulary. :P/>/>

local monitorSide = "<side>" -- the side the monitor is on

if peripheral.isPresent(monitorSide) and peripheral.getType(monitorSide) == "monitor" then
  term.redirect(peripheral.wrap(monitorSide))
else
  print("Monitor not found")
  return
end

-- Your code here

term.restore()

I'm tired of copying the same code, there's like 10 posts about the same thing.
