Homework on EVM

Ethereum 101

  • What does the EVM do?
    The EVM is an application that runs in each of the CPU participating in the Ethereum network, and it reads the Smart Contracts and the codes inside it.

  • What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    EVM reads the Bytecode that has been compiled into opcodes, a low-level machine instructions. These opcodes allow EVM to be Turing Complete.

  • What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    For the codes written in Solidity to work, it must first be converted into Bytecode to be understood by the EVM that accepts low level programming language. This is because Solidity cannot communicate directly with EVM due to it being a high level programming language.

  • Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Because Bitcoin runs on a Non-Turing Complete program, and it cannot do complex calculations.

  • What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Is a language that can run any computational programs, it usually has loops/recursions and is usually flexible.

  2. the EVM reads byte code, written by using solidity programming language.

  3. solidity is used to interact with the bytecode.

  4. Bitcoin’s programming language is not turing complete.

  5. a turing complete programming language means that you can write code to do anything you want. it is a complete language.

  1. THe EVM is the middle man between the smart contract and ethereum nodes and converts the smart contract into byte code before executing the code. It also acts as a security blanket against potentially malicious code.

2.The EVM reads byte code.

3.Solidity is broken down into byte code by the EVM.

  1. Bitcoin cannot run complex programs like ethereum because it isnt turing complete.

  2. A Turing complete language is general purpose and can program extremely complex programs.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    The EVM executes the SC in to byte code which can be run as a machine readable code on CPU. All nodes/computers on the ETC network are running EVM as it were an app, It also serves as a security cuard between SC on the network and the CPU of each node.

  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 compiled into bytecode and gets run through EVM on the Geth Software in the CPU which will execute the instructions in the SC.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Eth is Turing complete thus capable of performing any logical steps of computational fx within the network. BTC language is script and not Turing complete.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    A programming language that can solve any complex problems and perform loops in the code.
    It might be relevante to know that the Church-Turing Thesis states that in computability theory, a fx on the natural numbers can be calculated by an effective method if and only if it is also computable by a Turing Machine which can read or execute actions on a strip of tape according to a table of rules. Turing Machine Explained.

  1. What does the EVM do?
  • read the compiled the solidity code, and next the cpu can read what excaly need to do
  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
  • bytecode of smart contracs that are writed in solidity or viper
  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
  • bytecode is the result of the solidity code ( smart contract ) compiled, that bytecode is what the EVM can understand
  1. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
  • because bitcoin is only was created for transactions, in bitcoin you can only run “script”, and
    is not the same like “Smart Contracts” that are writed in ethereum
  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
  • is not a easy question for me, but i think the complete turing is something can solve all the problems with the resources that has, in this example bitcoin is not a complete turing because you can’t build scripts to develop a dapp with him, but ethereum it is a complete turing because you can write whatever you want in solidity code and with that create an dapp

some links relevants :

if i am wrong im something please send me a message or a reply
if i am broken rules sharing that links please let me know
Thanks for read :slight_smile: :heart:

  1. What does the EVM do?
    The EVM is essentially a middleware between the bytecode instructions and the cpu. This keeps smart contracts sandboxed and thus more secure for all of the nodes.
  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The bytecode that is complied from Solidity or other languages.
  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is a higher level language that is more human readable. Bytecode is the machine optimized low level code read by the EVM. Solidity complies down to bytecode for the evm to execute.
  1. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin has a non-turing complete scripting language. This was to prevent possible security risks like network spam/ddos attacks that are possible in turing complete programming languages.
  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    A programming language that can perform any type of boolean logic. Allowing total freedom in what can be created like looping and dynamic variables.

Solidity compiles logic & instructions to bytecode, which the EVM reads and executes instruction by instruction.

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

Bitcoin’s programming language Script is not Turing complete, meaning you are limited in the problems you can solve. BTC needs to do 1 thing (for the most part) and keep the blockchain as clean and lean as possible for it.
