My serial monitor doesn't show anything on it.

I am trying to use the serial monitor to read data but it never shows anything on it, always a blank screen

here is the code:

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);

Serial.println("Hello world!");
}

void loop()
{

}

The baud rate is correct and no error appears in the IDE.

Open your serial window and then push the reset button on your Arduino.

Still nothing?

void setup()                    
{
 Serial.begin(9600);          
 

}

void loop()                      
{
   Serial.println("Hello world!");                   
}

Did you actually upload your code? Or did you only verify (compile) ?

spycatcher2k:
What Arduino do you have?

If you have a micro / Leonardo you need this:

void setup() 
{
  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) 
  {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB
  }
// etc etc
}
