Homework on EVM

Ethereum 101
#2894
  1. The Ethereum Virtual Machine is an app the runs on top of the ETH network’s nodes and executes smart contract instructions.
  2. EVM byte code format.
  3. Solidity is the language the code is written in then compiled into byte code to be understood by the EVM
  4. Bitcoin is written in an incomplete Turing language called a script and is much more primitive. They wrote it intentionally to prevent spam. Ethereum is written in a TC language to enable the ability to write loops and to allow developers to create any kind of app they want (in theory).

  1. What does the EVM do? ethereum virtual machine…it reads the smartcontract at the bytecode level and serves as a buffer between the code and the cpu’s on the blockchain
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? bytecode
  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode? solidity is the language that programmers use to write the instructions…solidity is then converted into bytecode which is a language that is more at the machine level
  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can? bitcoin runs on script which is not a turing complete language meaning that it lacks operations like loops that enable you to do pretty much anything with the language
  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language? a turing complete programming language has operations like loops that enable you to build pretty much anything

  2. Byte code

3.The Solidity language logic/instructions is compiled into byte code via a special application.
4. BTC script is not turing complete.

  1. EVM allows an isolated individual contract code be embedded into the blockchain. Once nodes propagate and block is mined, the contract codes will be executed based on the conditions provided.
  2. Byte code
  3. Solidity is a programming language converted into bytecode.
  4. Bitcoin runs on language “Script” which has static qualities much like internet 1.0 hence bitcoin purpose was simply to be used as currency.
  5. When any algorithm is able to be implemented on the programming language. Solidity is an example of Turing Complete whereas Solidity is not.

  • What does the EVM do?
  • What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
  • What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
  • Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
  • What is a Turing Complete programming language?
  1. EVM is the Ethereum virtual machine. This can run smart contracts on nodes in the network whilst ensuring that the The nodes in the network have a copy of the EVM which runs instructions using the resources of the node, such as the CPU. The CPU will not execute these instructions directly, it will do it through the EVM for security, to avoid hacking and security threats such as keyloggers. Once executed all the nodes on the network will need to have consensus as ETH is PoW.
  2. EVM byte code.
  3. Solidity is compiled into byte code using a compiler, the EVM will read and execute these instructions.
  4. Bitcoin’s programming language, Script, is not Turing Complete.
  5. A Turing Complete programming language is a programming language that allows you to write whatever program you want on it whereas non-Turing Complete programming language would not be able to solve all the problems required to program an application and is limited as a result.

  1. EVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine that executes the code of smart contracts.
  2. Opcodes
  3. The code is written in Solidity, then the CPU applies logic and turns into Byte Code whoch is then read by EVM.
  4. Script on Bitcoin is not turing complete meaning that it cannot solve all problems, it very basic compared to solidity in Ethereum.
  5. A programming language is Turing complete if you can implement any possible algorithm with it.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    EVM makes it possible to execute code on the network, it will look at all instructions and do all calculations and tell the CPU what to do.
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The format that the EVM can read is in Bytecode
  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity compiles the language to Bytecode
  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs as Ethereum can?
    The programming language Script is not complete is limited. In Etherium, Solidity is a Turing complete language.
  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

  1. What does the EVM do? The EVM executes the smart contracts, and acts as a layer of security on top of the CPUs for each of the nodes, ensuring no malicious activity occurs.
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? The EVM reads Bytecode.
  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode? Smart contracts are written in Solidity, and than compiled into Bytecode for the EVM to execute. EVM only reads Bytecode.
  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Etherium can? Bitcoin is written in Script which in not Turing complete, meaning that it cannot complete data-manipulation rule sets.
  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language? A Turing Complete programming language is a language that can execute data-manipulation sets, as well as containing loops that can tell a program to execute something a specified number of times. Examples are Java, C++, and Solidity.

  1. What does the EVM do? - It’s a code that reads the contract scripts, compiled and instructs the CPU to execute the protocol.
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? - EVM Bytecode

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode? - Solidity is a programming language that reads the Bytecode Input).

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can? - Bitcoin is built from C++ and its limited blockchain size. Ethereum has programmability, Turing complete, flexible scripting, allows creation of any apps. The technology will need a significant sizable landscape to accommodate these features. Bitcoin is suitable for transaction application only.  

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language? A language that has looping capability which allows simulation task repetitions.

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    programmers write in solidity and then code is compiled to bytecode so the evm can read the smart contract.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    The script(language) in btc is not touring complete. You can’t do loops with script

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

  1. What does the EVM do?
    • The EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) reads and executes smart contracts.
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    • The EVM reads the smart contracts through EVM byte code.
  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    • After you are done writing your code in Solidity, you use a compiler, which takes your Solidity code and compiles all of the logic and instructions into byte code which the EVM will then read.
  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    • Bitcoin cannot run the same type of programs because it operates on the programming language Script, which is not Turing Complete. Whereas, Ethereum runs on Solidity, which is Turing Complete and allows you to program anything you can think of
  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    • A Turing Complete programming language is a language that lets you program anything that you can think of.

  1. The EVM runs off an existing node and executes smart contracts. It works the contract directly, reading all instructions. The EVM tells the computer what to do with the information in the contract.
    2)The format of the instructions the EVM can read are opcodes.
    3)Solidity is the Eth programming language compared to Java & c++. Programmers use Solidity to get to the Bytecode. The instructions given in solidity are compiled to Bytecode then the EVM will read all the instructions to the CPU.
