Homework on EVM

[Kody]

1. What does the EVM do?

EVMs isolate smart contracts, read Bytecode generated from compiling smart contracts and execute the instructions received from smart contracts before sending the results to the cpu. These steps are taken to ensure there is no malicious code that will interact with your computer and further compromise your computer.

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

EVMs read instructions in Bytecode which is generated after compiling a smart contract.

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

The relationship between Solidity and Bytecode is that smart contracts are made using the programing language Solidity which is then compiled into Bytecode for the EVMs to read.

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

Bitcoin can’t run the same complex programs like Ethereum because it is not Turing complete.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A Turing complete language is a more complex language allowing you to do loops.

[Kerux_api]

1. The Evm reads instructions compiled from solidity into bytes codes and executes them on the ethereum blockchain node
2. Byte codes
3. Instructions in the smart contract are written in solidity and sometimes viper, either ways all must be compiled into bytecode for the evm to read and execute on the node.
4. Because the bitcoin script is not turing complete.
5. A turing complete language is one that can solve every problem available to it.

[Philip_Wong]

1. EVM allows us to execute the code in forms of smart contract on the ethrium network, such that the code follows the consensus on what the result should be.
2. EVM reads instructions sequentially in solidity
3. Since EVM runs on top of CPU, therefore we use Solidity to write codes on a high level that we can understands, then solidity will translate the code into Bytecode, in which it is read and executed by EVM
4. As of July 2022, smart contract on Bitcoin isn’t as good as what smart contract on Ethereum offers. Therefore it enables Ethereum to run more complex code then Bitcoin
5. Most modern programming language such as JavaScript and Solidity are Turing Complete programming language. A Turing Complete programming language can perform most if not all tasks the programmer can conceive.

[TurtleFoot]

1. What does the EVM do? The Ethereum Virtual Machine is a piece of code that executes the smart contracts bytecode and is in every single Ethereum Node. It also allows projects to build decentralized applications but is limited to scalability.
2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? The EVM will read the smart contract then tell the CPU what to do in EVM byte code.
3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
   Solidity compiles in bytecode that is then executed in the EVM
4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
   Because Bitcoin is ran off a Non Turing Complete programming language called Script while Ethereum is ran off a a Turing Complete(TC) called Solidity
5. What is a Turing Complete programming language? A Turing Complete programming language is a program where a developer can loop and compute anything and basically solve any problem universal.

[Herb]

1. What does the EVM do?
   EVM reads and executes smart contracts and separates the node’s CPUs from the SCs for extra security.

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

3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
   Smart contracts are written using Solidity which then translates and compiles that program into byte code for the EVM to read and execute.

4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
   Bitcoin’s programming language is a Non Turing Complete language called Script. It works well functioning as a currency transactor but is limited in its ability to program other functions. Ethereum’s programming language is called Solidity which is a Turing Complete language and allows for anything to be programmed, in theory.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
   Turing Complete programming is a language that uses loops to be able to program any function the programmer desires in theory.

[Alina19]

1. What does the EVM do?

Answer: Ethereum Virtual Machine is running on top of the hardware of each existing node in Ethereum network. It reads smart contracts and in turn tells CPU what to do.

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

Answer: even though smart contracts are typically written in Solidity programming language, EVM can’t directly read them. With the help of special applications called compilers, Solidity is compiled into code bytes that can be read by the EVM.

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

Answer: in order for the EVM to read the smart contract, Solidity language has to be compiled into small code bytes with the help of compilers - special applications.

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

Answer: Bitcoin is written in a different programming language called Script. Script is not Turing Complete, meaning it doesn’t have the ability to solve the most complex mathematical problems, it is limited.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

Answer: a Turing Complete programming language means that given enough time and memory along with the necessary instructions, it can solve any computational problem, no matter how complex.
