The format for the EVM is a new software language written for Ethereum called Solidity. The EVM communicates these instructions to the CPU using byte code.
-
The EVM runs using a software language called Solidity. Bytecode, is a deeper level instruction set that Solidity is complied into in order for the EVM to instruct the CPU.

Bitcoin uses a far simpler type of computer language. This has benefits in the sense that only a very fixed type or set of transactions can be made. It would not be possible to run anything like an EVM on Bitcoin chain, partly because the software that bitcoin is written in is not Turing Complete.

Turing Complete A level of computer programming language which allows for a wide set of instructions to be created, allowing complex software to be executed. Turing complete language allows for the function of ‘loops’ to be run in software like Smart Contracts.

**1. What does the EVM do?**
The Ethereum Virtual Machine ( EVM ) is an applications that all the Nodes run on their computers and and its responsible for the execution of a smart contract.
**2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?**
The instruction format EVM reads its Byte Code.
3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
A smart contract can be created with Solidity. Then when the smart contract added to the network and distributed throw all the Nodes, the EVM then takes the smart contract, translate it from Solidity program language to Byte Code so it can run the instructions on the smart contract and then tell to the CPU of the Nodes computer what to do.
**4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?**
Bitcoin cannot run the same type of complex programs because its based on a non turing complete language called SHA-256 which makes it a non dynamic and programmable blockchain network and thats the reason of its limited capabilities of just sending and receiving transactions and just wokring as a digital currency.
5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
A turing complete programming language is a programming language with great abilities in programming. Almost anything can be created with turing complete languages and with the loop function you can easily create any smart contract.

- What does the EVM do?
Ethereum Virtual Machines isolates and executes contract code to isolate base OS to instruct cpu to direct nodes to perform instructions in the smart contract.
- What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
EVM only reads the complied byte code from solidity or viper code.
- What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
Bytecode is object-oriented programming (OOP) code compiled to run on a virtual machine (VM) instead of a central processing unit (CPU). The VM transforms program code into readable machine language for the CPU because platforms utilize different code interpretation techniques. A VM converts bytecode for platform interoperability, but bytecode is not platform-specific.
Bytecode is in a compiled Java programming language format and has the .class extension executed by Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Solidity sends code to compiler to convert to bytecode so EVM can execute smart contracts .
- Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
Bitcoin is a NTC Not Turing Complete it’s Script program is very limited in what it can do it’s only capable of just basic functions. Also it does not have a loop function which also enhances it’s limitations but assists in keeping block size smaller and helps enhance security features.
- What is a Turing Complete programming language?
A ‘Turing complete language” , which means everything that needs to be computed can be computed using it.
Solidity is Turing complete also there are others as described below:
Some of them are Java, C, C++, Python, etc almost all general purpose languages are Turing complete. Those which are not Turing complete, are: e.g. SQL, HTML etc.

The programmer writes the instructions in solidy language and the compiler transfers is into bytecode. This is the language the EVM can read.

Solidy can be compiled into bytecode. But other languages like viper could do this too when the necesary compiler is made for it.

The language to program on bitcoin “script” is a very basic language. It’s not made for advanced programming. Script is not a turing complete programming language.

Each EVM node runs the byte code of a smart contract.
The EVM reads the byte code that has been produced by the Solidity/Viper compiler.
Solidity is a shorter form of byte code to ease the process of programming. The compiler converts the solidity language into byte code.
The bitcoin script language is a simple language that is not turing complete. Bitcoin script is comparable to a straight, two-way street(send & receive only), whereas Solidity is like a street with turns, stops, exits, etc. and doesn’t just have the ability to only send & receive like bitcoin script.
A turing complete language allows a smart contract to do just about anything.
