#2994

  1. The Ethereum Virtual Machine is a global singleton machine with a global singleton state. The state is maintained by nodes in the network that accept and verify transactions. Each of the nodes runs the EVM and the EVM running on those nodes create and encapsulated or isolated environment that runs smart contracts and transaction requests that have been submitted. IT uses OP codes and gas to prevent from a SPAM attack.

  2. The EVM is its own virtual machine and isolated from local computer. IT runs in a virtual sandbox environment to protect network operators from malicious code.

  1. EVM encapsulates the ethereum programs so that they operate separate from the CPU on which they run, preventing the program from taking over the computer. It also links across multiple CPUs.

  2. The EVM receives commands in the form of Bytecode.

  3. Solidity is the language developers use to program Ethereum which is then compiled into Bytecode which the EVM can understand.

  4. Bitcoin has a purposely limited programming language to keep it stable and secure. It is not a Touring Complete language while Eth is founded on a Touring Complete language.

  5. A Touring Complete programming language is one that is flexible enough to execute almost any imaginable task given the right set of commands.

  1. EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine and is a piece of code that all nodes are running. It reads all information and codes within a smart contract and tells the CPU to execute them.

  2. The format of the instruction the EVM can read is called bytecode.

  3. Solidity is the original programming language and the compiler takes the Solidity and converts it into bytecode so that the EVM can read the instruction.

  4. Bitcoin can’t run the same type of complex program like Ethereum because it is not turing complete, meaning it is very limited.

  5. A turing complete programming language offers developers to program anything they want. It enables loops and no limitation on developments in theory.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    The Ethereum Virtual Machine reads the instructions in a smart contract and then tells the cpu to execute them to reach a certain result.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The format is called Bytecode

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is a programming language like javascript that enables to write in normal english words commands that are compiled into Bytecode and then the EVM reads the Bytecode.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    It is non turing complete so it is limited to remain true to its original purpose. To prevent a misuse of loops that could potentially increase block size and threaten its efficiency so bitcoin will only remain as digital money or gold.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    A Turing Complete programming language allows to create anything you want in a dynamic way in programming.

  • What does the EVM do?
    Ethereum Virtual Machine is like a commander of the CPUs in all the nodes to execute the codes as written in Smart Contracts
  • What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The coding instructions or byte codes are read by EVM. Bytecodes are done by Solidity. Now they are developing a new coding program called Viper.
  • What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    The language is the instructions written via Solidity program and Bytecode is language or the result produced by Solidity or other programs that do the same thing.
  • Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin is not Turing complete but Ethereum is Turing complete. As a result of this, Ethereum can perform a full calculation or SMART CONTRACT while Bitcoin does not allow this.
  • What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Bitcoin’s Scripts program is not Turing Complete meaning it cannot solve all the problems while Solidity on Ethereum is Turing Complete and can be written to solve any problems.

  5. It is a language that allows for Loops to be performed.

    1. An EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is a way for allowing any program (for example: smart contracts) to run on the blockchain, while making sure, that this runs in a secure environment and no malicious code can escape.
    1. Instructions for the EVM are compiles in Bytecode
    1. Solidity is the programming language used by Ethereum. The programmer can use this to write his program, and with a compiler convert the instructions into Bytecode.
    1. Bitcoin is not turing complete, it is thus very limited in its capabilities to run things like smart contracts. This was done on purpose, to avoid the blockchain being spammed, slowed down and growing too big in size. BTC should have a simple task of storing value, and not much more.
    1. A Turing Complete language can solve pretty much any problem a program asks for. It also has the feature to loop tasks, so that they can be repeated multiple times automatically.

EVM is a smart contract reader application for all nodes. Once all the nodes runs the contract and produce the same result, the contract is verified.

The format of instruction for EVM is named Solidity.

Solidity is the language use by people to program Ethereum. This language is similar to English. Once Solidity is complied, it is translated into Bytecode and runs on Ethereum.

Bitcoin’s programming language, Script, doesn’t have the complexity of Solidity. By design, Bitcoin serves one function: money.

Due to less programmable sophistication with Script, it Bitcoin cannot solve all of the problems that might arise.

hopefully this is correct i would love feedback

1: EVM reads instructions off the smart contract, similar to javascript and converts the data to EVM Byte code

2: Solidity<compiler<bytecode<EVM<CPU<EVM<CPU

3: Solidity is the software that translates Bytecode with a compiler for EVM to read and translate it to EVM-ByteCode

  1. bit coin cant because it would 1) take up too much block space 2) open the flood gates to spammers , BItcoin is Gold / Ethereum is Oil

5: Turning complete programing language ,(solidity)+(Loops) is the ability to program anything you want

  1. The EVM reads the bytecode from the compiled smart contract and passes instructions to the CPU.

  2. Compiled Bytecode.

  3. Solidity can be compiled into bytecode.

  4. It doesn’t have a turing complete scripting language.

  5. A system is said to be “Turing complete” in computer theory if it can be used to emulate a Turing machine, which is a theoretical construct designed by mid-century mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing. Basically it means being able to do things like loops to achieve anything you want :slight_smile:

  1. The Ethereum Virtual Machine is an application that is distributed to every node in the network. Its purpose is to read smart contracts, execute its code, and provide security to the host node by isolating its resources. The EVM is also used for the network to reach a consensus on smart contracts.

  2. The EVM reads in Bytecode format.

  3. Solidity is used to compile the Turing Complete instructions into Bytecode to be read & executed by the EVM.

  4. Bitcoin uses Script, which is not a Turing complete programming language.

  5. A Turing complete programming language refers to a language that has the ability to solve any computational problem imaginable. Whether or not it can practically execute the code is dependent on time and resources.

Evm is Ethereum virtual machine that helps runs smart contracts on network.

The format of instructions that EVM reads is byte code or solidity.

The relationship between programming language solidity and bytecode is that solidity helps compile the bytecode which is read by evm.

Bitcoin cannot run same complex programs like etheruem because of bitcoin programming language has. It is only using scripts.

Turin complete language means that it allows flexibility. Anyone is able to write on it and program code. Allows smart contracts to be made.

1/ EVM executes a smart contract on each node of ethereum blockchain, in asking/controlling local CPU, in providing locally a secure environment (encapsulation of ressources needed for exec.) for smart contract
2/ Solidity
3/Compilation of Solidity written instructions in Bytecode
4/ Script, used for Bitcoin contracts, is not Turing complete, as there is no possibility to write and execute loops: then, only simple programs/contracts can be buit for Bitcoin.
5/ A Turing complete like Solidity can solve any problem, as it can run iterations, in any quantity theorically.
