Explanation:

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a class Sample and a Main() function. The Sample class contains a method SayHello(). The SayHello() method is used to print the "Hello World" message on the console screen.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program. And, we created a reference of Sample class but did not initialize the reference of Sample class. Then we checked reference is initialized or not using IsNothing() function.
