1- the evm encapsulates the instructions which is programmed in solidity in a way so that the cpu doesn’t carry out the instructions directly, but the entire ethereum network carries out the code before the cpu does.
2- bytecode
3-solidity is the language that is used to code on ethereum and bytecode compiles that informataion for the evm to read
4-it was designed for a different purpose. By running a simpler programming language on bitcoin, you cannot spam the blocks with smart contract data keeping the blockchain lightweight.
5- a turing complete language allows for you to create anything with the language

1. What does the EVM do?
- allows the communication between the blockchain smart contracts and your pc.
2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
- the EVM can read byte code.
3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
- Solidity is the programming language used to write a smart contract. The Solidity compiler then transforms this to Bytecode that the EVM can read.
4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
- because Bitcoin uses a much more simple programming language called Script (not Turing Complete) which is very limited.
- this was done intentionally so it would not overload the network.
5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
- is a language that can solve any kind of problem
- loops is an important component of Turing Complete languages.

1. What does the EVM do?
Ethereum Virtual Network is an application that all computers on Ethereum network are running. EVM runs on top the existing hardware of each node and basically resides between the Smart Contract and the node’s CPU. It can read and execute smart contracts. The smart contracts are written in Solidity and compiled into bytecode. EVM reads the bytecode and tells the CPU to execute the instructions and it will reach a final result. If the nodes on the network reach the same result then everyone is in consensus about what happened in a specific smart contract. The EVM also provides a level of security to ensure that a malicious smart contract cannot get loose in a node’s CPU.
2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
EVM reads bytecode.
3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
Solidity is compiled into bytecode. The Ethereum Virtual Machine reads the bytecode.
4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
Bitcoin does not use a Turing Complete programming language like Ethereum does. Since its main purpose is to serve as a digital currency it uses a limited language called Script. Otherwise the blockchain size would increase and it would quickly run into scalability issues like Ethereum has.
4. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
A language that can solve any computation problem. It is more complex than say a markup language like HTML

- The Etheruem Virtual Machine encapsulate the programme language (solidity) executed by computer CPU to make sure smart contract are protected and propagated on all etheruem network
- The EVM will read the instruction on the smart contract compile by solidity and do the calculations and tell the CPU to execute in order to receive results and nodes will verify and reach consensus on the network. For example, if I create a contract for my WILL, therefore I need to make sure the instruction of who and when to pay out the money and how it is written on the smart contract using EVM code and execute it. When it’s time to pay out, all the nodes will run the instruction like fetch the identity of recipients and pay out the amount agreed on the contract.
- The relationship is that the smart contract will be written in solidity and compiled in EVM byte-code for execution.
- The script language is not turing complete and doesn’t have loop to do action many times over. It’s also because of spammed protection and blocksize concerns by bitcoin developers.
- The Turing Complete programming language is universal method to solve problems and potentially have unlimited storage.

- Bytecode
- What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
- Smart contracts are written in Solidity. The contract is the compiled into bytecode so the EVM can read it.
- Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
- Bitcoin developers didn’t want smart contracts on the network because it would clog up the network even more when they already have a scalability problem with just normal transactions.
- What is a Turing Complete programming language?
- Solidity is a Turning Complete programming language. If you can think it, you can code it. This requires loops.

Solidity makes it possible to translate instructions from a language we humans can understand (it looks like English), to bytecode using a compiler
-
Because it is not Turing Complete, it can only execute very simpel programs
-
A programming language that can theoretically execute any program you can think of no matter how complex, one of the reasons it can do this is it supports loops, execute the same set of instructions multiple times.

- What does the EVM do?
EVM creates an execution environment on top of nodes in an Ethereum network. This environment allows for excecution of smart contracts (code) while isolating the contract from controlling the phsyical hardware. I would guess that this isolates the operation of one smart contract from interferring with the operation of another smart contract on the same node.
- What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
EVM reads and executes byte code. Byte code is generated by the Solidity programming language. EVM doens’t directly execute Solidity.
- What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
Solidity generates bytecode.
4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
Bitcoin offers a smart contract-like feature called Script. However, script doesn’t offer enough programming features to support Smart Contracts.
- What is a Turing Complete programming language?
To be Turing complete, a programming language must be able to simulate another computer. This requires conditional logic, looping, and change memory. Script doesn’t offer all this.

What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode? Solidity is high level language which rather than dealing with registers, memory addresses and call stacks, high-level languages deal with variables, arrays, objects complex arithmetic or boolean expressions, subroutines and functions, loops, threads, locks, and other abstract computer science concepts, with a focus on usability over optimal program efficiency. Whereas when we compile the solidity code using the solc compiler, it will translate our code into bytecode, something only the EVM can understand.

Q1: EVM is the environment that reads and executes the smart contracts on every node on the Ethererum network.
Q2: The format of the instructions that the EVM can read is byte code (Binary code).
Q3: Usually smart contracts are written in Solidity but the EVM doesn’t understand Solidity so it has to be translated (Compiled). A compiler translates the code that the smart contract is written (human language - Solidity) to language that the EVM can read which is Byte Code (Binary Code).
Q4: Bitcoin can’t run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum because its programs are written in Script language which is very limited in functionality and cannot perform looping. It is known as Turing Incomplete as it cannot perform all computational functions.
Q5: An example of a Turing Complete programming language is Java Script & C++

1- EVM (ETH virtual Machine, basically an OS) that works as bridge and a barrier between the smart contract and the CPU of the node. It reads the bytecode (format of the SC) and reformats it as instructions to the Node CPU. This is also a barrier/filter that separates a possible malicious SC from a Node from being attacked.
2- EVM reads bytecode of the SC
3- Solidity uses JavaScript (basically plain language text) through a Compiler and converts into bytecode (format of the SC)
4- Bitcoin is basically meant to be a Currency or ‘Digital Gold’ only. It’s also been decided to remain this way for scaling issues. It is not ‘truring complete’, and therefor can only handle simple instructions such as multi-signature transactions.
5- ‘Truring Complete’ allows complete latitude and flexibility for the user. There are no limitations to which program can be used and what it can be used for.
