If you are programming nicely, that is you only have the single package
in the file, then it doesn't matter. However, it is the file that needs
to return true and so it is better to put the true value as the very
last statement in the file.
Also, you'll want to delete the semicolon on the package declaration
line. What you have currently is an old-style package declaration and
then an ordinary block, meaning that anything after the block is also in
package Hello.
Finally, 1 is a boring value to return. Be creative!
