- EVM is an application integrated in to each full Ethereum node responsible for executing contract bytecode. Contracts are typically written in programming languages, like Solidity, then compiled to EVM bytecode.
- EVM executes byte code
- Solidity is a programming language used for implementing smart contracts, it takes the programming commands or code of solidity and translates it into byte code which the EVM can execute.
4.Because Bitcoins programming language Script is considered to be not Turing Complete, thus making it unable to perform complex programming.
5 Turing complete programming language allows for iterative and decion making instructions, this allows complex funtionality.

The EVM is an application that runs on all Ethereum nodes. It reads the smart contracts of the Ethereum blockchain and tells the CPU what to do.
The EVM reads a compiled version of the smart contracts: EVM Bytecode.
Solidity is human readable code. Bytecode is machine readable code derived from the Solidity code. It is more efficient to interpret and independent from specific hardware. It is an intermediate form of code before machine code.
Bitcoin has a very limited programming language called Script. It is not Turing Complete. This is on purpose to keep Bitcoin simple, clean and efficient. Bitcoin is only meant to be money.
A Turing Complete programming language that is universally programmable. It can perform any mathematical calculation (the same as a Turing machine). It can use loops. Simply put, in theory you can program everything you want with a Turing Complete language.

EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)
- EVM create a possibility to execute codes in the Ethereum network in a way to achieve concensus.
- It provides security ie helps prevent denial of service attacks(DOS)
- it does a runtime environment for smart contract based on the Ethereum (Sandboxed Environment) which is great for testing.
- The format EVM can read - comes from the byte code, using a compiler application and solidity language programming or others to read instructions from the smart contract.
3.The relationship between solidity and byte code is that solidity is a language (Javascript, C++, Python, Viper etc) for implementing smart contract. It uses the compiler application to translate in to byte code . The EVM uses the byte code to read instruction from the smart contract, derive result and then propagate the information to the different nodes in the network.

Bitcoin cannot run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum because bitcoin is just a digital asset and will have to avoid spamming and the potential to increase its block sizes to accommodate all the information.

Turin complete programming language is simply that you can program anything you can think of, like in solidity. Theoretically its possible, practically it is disputable when you consider time and cost. Technically, for example, It uses loops to tell the computer to do one thing several times.(repeatedly)

- EVM reads and executes byte code on the smart contracts. It is threre for security reasons and it encapsulates the code so that it cannot take over ones computer.
- the EVM can read byte code.
- Solidity compiles the information for the smart contract into byte code so that the EVM can read it. It act kind of like a translator from one language to another. All that the EVM cares about is the byte code not the programing language it came from.
- Bitcoin canât run the same complex programs like ethereum because it has no EVM.
- Touring complete language has loops. This means it can tell a program to execute something a number of times instead of just once.

EVM Etheruem Virtual Machine a layer of difference between the CPU, nodes and itself. Reads byte code, communicates with a node in the network with instructions, and nodes executes instructions. Only the language used by EVM will compile the smart contract into byte code for EVM to read and take action. That way ensuring CPU cannot be use to attack a network nodes.
Byte code. Byte code is compiled from high level languages that cannot be understood by just reading them yourself or a CPU. The EVM is needed to provide nodes to provide CPU instructions, this is also a level of security.
Solidity is one of many specialized coding languages on the Ethereum decentralized network. Bytecode is what is complied in this case from Solidity, read on EVM.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are different networks speaking different languages. Bitcoin uses script language, it is simple and can do smart contracts just not same sophistication level has EVM, because Ethereum is a platform for networking businesses, investments, and all relavanate use cases on a large scale.

- What does the EVM do?
The Ethereum Virtual Machine is a piece of code that all computers in the network run.
It runs, executes and encapsulates the smart contracts and afterwards tells the cpu what to do.
This prevents the following from happening:
A CPU directly running and executing a smart contract. This would mean that if the smart contract is programmed to execute something ââcorrupt/badââ it would simply do so. This means you could program a smart contract to turn on a webcam and send that information to someone else. Or read what someone is typing on his keyboard the whole day and send that information. (Including passwords or other sensitive information.)

The EVM is the middleman between the ethereum network of nodes and your CPU so that your CPU can not be controlled directly through a smart contract and has to go through the EVM which then sends info to your CPU.
EVM can read smart contracts compiled into bytecode by Solidity.
Solidity will compile the code into bytecode for the CPU to read.
Because bitcoinâs programming language is not turing complete(It canât have loops). This waas done to not clog the system with spam and make the block size big.

3)solidity is the language of the programmer : in which he can program, read and understand ; then compiled to Bytecode. the Bytecode is the language of EVMs : which they can read and execute the instructions within the smart contracts.
4)because we will end up with a scalability problem: because of the limited size of bitcoinâs blocks. since the script language is not turing complete , we canât use loops so it will take a lot of lines of codes to write the program , which will slow the bitcoin network.
5)a Turing complete programming language is a language in which you can program anything you want such as loops âŚ
