1.) The EVM reads the instructions in a code, check it if the codes are safe, than it will send it to the nodes in the network. Code -> EVM -> Nodes
2.) Byte Code. It can be written with Solidity or Viper.
3.) You can write the instructions in Solditiy, it will translate it in a language like Bytecode so that the EVM can read it.
4.) Because Bitcoin got no smart-contracts. You can only give little instructions in the script language.
5.) It is a language like Solidity. You can code everything that you think of.

  1. EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) executes codes and smart contracts on Ethereum network of computers. It allows the run of code to produce results that can then be matched against various instances of EVM that run across the network on other computers when the results all agree consensus is created.
  2. EVM can only read code in the Bytecode format.
  3. The relationship between Solidity and Bytecode is one in which Solidity is used by programmers to create any/all instructions for transactions/smart contracts and then that code is compiled into the Bytecode that the EVM can read/execute to work toward consensus.
  4. Bitcoin cannot run the same type of complex programs that Ethereum can because bitcoin only allows a limited form of coding called scripting (simple logic) that does not allow for complex arrangements in such activities like loops. Scripting is not turning complete and therefore restricts Bitcoin from the functionality that Ethereum possesses.
  5. A turning complete language is one in which you can program anything you want, such as loops. This extended functionality allows for expanded scalability and development of the Ethereum blockchain over Bitcoin’s.

  1. What does the EVM do?

The Ethereum Virtual Machine reads smart contracts and gives the CPUs that run it, instructions.

  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?

Bytecode

  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode? Solidity is the programming language that was created to interpret bytecode for the EVM.

  2. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can? The script language is very simple and not Turing complete meaning it cannot execute the same complex level of operations.

  3. What is a Turing Complete programming language? It means that it can compute virtually anything that can be entered on to a smart contract.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    The EVM runs the bytecode in smart contracts and acts as an abstraction layer between the code and the CPU. It reads the code and passes the calculations over to the CPU as it sees fit.

  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 human-readable programming language that smart contracts are programmed in (among others). This code is then compiled into EVM bytecode, which is what the EVM reads. The EVM doesn’t care what language was used to write a contract: It only cares about the Bytecode and its correctness.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Because Bitcoin only supports Script which is a non-Turing Complete language.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    A Turing Complete language is a language which, in theory, can program anything that is programmable. That is to say that there is nothing programmable that any Turing Complete language can program that another Turing Complete language cannot. With only a few simple logical operations supported and the ability to refer back to itself, i.e, loop, any language can be Turing Complete.
    I think I remember that the programming language on one of my graph calculators in College was technically Turing Complete. In theory it could run the same programs (re-programmed into its own language and split into many chunks to get around the memory contraints) that the most advanced supercomputers in the world could run. Not well, though, not well at all :stuck_out_tongue:

  1. the EVM allows smart contracts to be run on the PoW network.

  2. The EVM reads byte code.

  3. Solidity compiles into byte code, then the EVM reads the bytecode.

  4. Bitcoin cannot handle smart contracts because it is built on Script. Script is not a Turing complete language.

  5. A Turing Complete language is a programming language that can use loops to iterate on something over and over. Solidity is an example of Turing Complete.

  1. The EVM reads and executes smart contracts on the ETH blockchain. It tells the CPU what to do with the smart contract instructions and also ensures that nothing malicious from the smart contract comes to the network of computers.

  2. The format of the instructions the EVM can read in is in Bytecode.

  3. The relationship between solidity and Bytecode is that the smart contracts are written in Solidity which then get compiled into Bytecode. Solidity compiles the smart contract into Bytecode. That is the relationship between Solidity and Bytecode.

  4. BTC can’t run the same type of complex programs like ETH can because BTC has a limited programming language called Script. Script is considered Not Turing Complete meaning that it can only perform very simple mathematical problems. BTC can only run very simple programs like a multi-sig key and do transactions.

  5. A Turing Complete programming language is a programming language that can perform any mathematical problems. Solidity is an example of a Turing Complete language. In theory, anything can be programmed on Solidity but in practice, it can still be limited in terms of scalability.

The EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) handles the smart contracts and transactions of Ethereum.

EVM can read Bytecode instructions.

Solidity is the higher level programming language that is used to program smart contracts for Ethereum. Any program in Solidity is compiled to Bytecode, low level instructions to be executed by EVM

Bicoin is written in language called Script, a scripting language which is not Turing complete. This limits the things one can program with it. Ethereum, On the other hand is written in Solidity which is Turing complete

Simply put, Turing Complete programming language is a language and that can use loops. Turing Completeness guarantees that the language can theoretically solve any computational problem (given enough time and memory)

  1. What does the EVM do?

The EVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It is what interprets and executes smart contracts on the network and ultimately provides consensus. The EVM is present on every node in the network and sits atop its hardware including the CPU, therefore providing an extra layer of security.

  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The EVM reads byte code.

  2. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is a literal, human language which is compiled into byte code. Similar to what javascript does for the internet

  3. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?

BTC Script language is not Turing complete and so is not advanced enough to solve all problems that might arise within a programme completely. Ethereum’s Solidity is Turing complete and is so enabled to run much more complex programs.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A Turing complete language is one in which you can, in theory, program whatever you want.
