  1. What does the EVM do?

It is an application that runs on all of the nodes in the network, used to read and execute smart contracts.

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

Byte code.

  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?

Instructions are programmed in solidity and a compiler is used to take the instructions from solidity and compile them down to byte code, which the EVM can use to read and execute.

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

Because BTC uses a programming language called Script which is not turing complete, meaning it cannot solve all problems.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A language that can solve any problem and has loops allowing it to perform a function multiple times.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    The EVM helps protect the nodes on the network from malicious acts while executing the instructions on the smart contract.

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

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is the programing language used to write code and then a compiler then changes it to bytecode in order for the EVM to read so it can execute the instructions.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin can have basic execution codes - the scripting language on Bitcoin is not turing complete. Not turing complete means the scripting language is very limited to what it can execute.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Turing Complete language has the ability to have loops in the language, therefore enabling the language to execute more than what a Not Turing Complete language can not.

  1. What does the EVM do?

EVM runs on the existing hardware on the given node (CPUs) and can read and execute Solidity commands and translate them into byte code through a compiler. EVM ensures consensus between nodes, preventing malicious actors from trying to manipulate the code.

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

Byte code. The byte code is obtained after using a compiler with Solidity code, or with Vyper.

  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?

Solidity is an ease-of-programming Turing-Complete language comparable to JS that can be translated by a compiler to be converted into byte code that the EVM can read.

  1. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    BTC already has some very primitive programmable “smart contracts”, but the script in BTC is not Turing Complete.
  2. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

Consists of loops (programming that can repeat code multiple times).
Everything that you can think of, you can code. Solidity is an example of a Turing Complete programming language.

  1. EVM is the secure intermediary platform that reads a smart contract instructions on the blockchain, and prompts the computer’s CPU (central processing unit) to execute a set of commands. Smart contracts do not interact directly with any internal or external drives or devices on a computer. The EVM also interacts with other EVMs on each node in the network. I hope to heck I am understanding and explaining this crazy maze of information!
  2. Byte code from the compiler.
  3. Solidity is a programming language in English syntax commands that a compiler will turn into byte code that a software or platform (EVM) can interpret and execute or prompt other computer hardware to execute. OMG, am I making any sense???
  4. Bitcoin’s Script language is not Turing Complete and therefore can not create or run complex set of instructions.
  5. Turing Complete language allows for a variety of specific commands to run different sets of real world instructions based on specific criteria.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    EVM stands for “Ethereum Virtual Machine”. An EVM is a piece of code that all cpu’s are running. The job of a EVM is to read the smart contracts, do the calculations, and then tell the cpu to execute it.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The EVM will read solidity which is compiled into EVM byte code.

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is a programing language that can be compiled to bytecode for the EVM to read.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoins programming language is script which is not turing complete. Therefore, bitcoin is limited in the programming that can be added.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    An example of a turing complete language is solidity. turing complete programing languages allow you to run loops to execute the same action as many times as the designed. turing complete languages can be used to solve any computational problem.

    Etheruem Virtual Machine can read and execute smart contracts, the EVM gives instruction to the CPUs.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    EVM can byte code.

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Programmers use Solidity. Solidity has a compiler that will compile the logic and instructions the programmer has given and will compile those down to byte code. The EVM then reads the byte code.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin was meant to be a currency and not Turing Complete. Adding complex programs would make transactions take up more space on a block especially if a programmer used a lot of loops.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Turing Complete in theory means you can program anything that you can imagine. You can use loops and make anything possible. In reality you probably cannot program it to do absolutely everything as you have to think of the time and cost aspect of what you program.
