Solidity

This document provides an overview of smart contracts and the Solidity programming language. It discusses how Solidity is used to create smart contracts that run on the Ethereum blockchain. It also demonstrates how to deploy and test a sample smart contract called an "Inbox" contract using the Remix IDE. Key points covered include how Solidity contracts are compiled and deployed, common Solidity functions, and how transactions are executed when contracts are called or modified.

Smart contracts with Solidity

Introduction
• Object Oriented high level language.
• Main purpose: Implementing smart contracts
• Written in .sol files
• Similar to Javascript
• Statically typed
Smart Contracts
• An account present on a blockchain network which is controlled by
code.
• Components of a contract account –
1. Balance – Amount of ether the account owns
2. Storage – Data storage for the contract (depends on the application)
3. Code – Machine code for the contract
Solidity
1. Create contract definition using solidity
2. It is passed to the Solidity compiler
3. The compiler gives out two separate files –
1. Byte Code which is ready for deployment – deployed into Ethereum
network
2. Application Binary Interface (ABI) – Used to interact with deployed smart
contracts ( example using Javascript for .js applications )
Remix IDE for
Solidity [3]
• A web-based IDE to write .sol
contracts
• Contains an inbuild solidity
compiler and an editor
• Great for small contracts
• Also contains a mock
Ethereum network to deploy
and test contracts
• Basic flow of deploying a
contract:
Solidity
1. Common function types include –
1. Access modifiers – public and private
2. Return type – View and Constant: The function returns data and does not modify the
contracts data.
3. Pure – Function will not modify or read the contracts data
4. Payable – This function can include an ether along with its call.
Solidity run and deploy configuration

• Environment – We use a Remix


Virtual machine
• Account – Any account can be
selected which are already
preloaded with 100 ether coins for
testing.
• Select a contract – here Inbox
• An empty box appears to put in
parameters for the constructor
defined by us in the contract
Inbox contract

• Deployed by inserting a string ”Hi


there”.
• Below shoes the instance created.
• setMessage, getMessage and
message buttons allow us to interact
with the contract.
Inbox contract
• We receive Hi there after
clicking the getMessage
button.
Inbox contract
• setMessage as Goodbye
• We get the message by
clicking on getMessage as
well as message.
• message is a public variable
which can also check the
value for message
Inbox Contract - console
• Each function call produces the following console logs.
• This includes the receiver and sender along with the execution cost in gas unit
Creating a contract - What happens at the
background
• Similar to transfer of money on a network.
• We create a transaction to create a contract
• Contract transaction contains:
• Nonce – number of times the sender has sent a transaction
• To – field is blank as opposed to while sending a money
• Data – bytecode of contract ( exposed to the world)
• v, r and s – crypto pieces of data
• Value – Amount of Wei (Wei is a smaller unit of ether – 1 ether =(1018) wei)
• gas – cost to run our code on another machine: Gas cost sheet – [5]

O7Frgx18pNU/edit#gid=0
• gasPrice – cost willing to pay for a transaction
• gasLimit – The unit of gas this transaction can consume

Reading and Modifying functions
• Reading Transactions –
• Calling a function can include returning a data and does not include modifying
the contract data.
• Runs instantly and is free

• Sending Transactions –
• Sending a transaction to a function can include modifying the contract data
which returns the transaction hash.
• Takes time to execute and costs money
