  1. What does the EVM do? It is a distributed programming system.
    2, What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? Bytecode.
  2. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?Solidity is the language used by the EVM. Bytecode is the language the EVM uses to communicate with the CPU.
  3. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can? Different protocols: Bitcoin is designed to be less complex both for security and to keep it as a currency. Ethereum is designed to do a range of tasks…
  4. What is a Turing Complete programming language? A programme that can fulfil anything within its theoretical possibilities.
#823

  2. byte code
  3. EVM reads the byte code and executing instructions.
  4. Because Bitcoin’s programming language is not a turing complete. It cannot solve all programs.
  5. Turing complete language is that you can program anything you want. Solidity is a turing complete language.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    The Etherium Virtual Machine that is in the EBC and runs the smart contracts.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    The EVM can read ByteCode, that is programmable in Solidity and compile to ByteCode.

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    The Solidity compiler produce Bytecode for the EVM to run the smart contracts.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin uses Script PL, it;s Not Turing complete. it can only program basic code. ie: there arent loops.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    A TC programming language is capable performing any possible calculation or functions.

  1. Allows for smart contracts to be deployed and executed on the ethereum blockchain
  2. bytecode
  3. Solidity is the programming language (easy for humans to put together), this is then compiled into bytecode for the EVM to process. The bytecode is simply a translation of the solidity programming language into computer language.
  4. Because bitcoin is not turing complete
  5. It means that a program capable of solving any problem that can be programmed in theory.

5.What is a Turing Complete programming language?

Quite right sir, but that could be one of the abilities of the Turing Complete programming language, could you please describe it in general terms?

If you have any doubt, please let us know so we can help you! :slight_smile:

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

Quite close sir, but Solidity is the programming language that you use to create/design smart contracts, after that, it will be compiled into ByteCode that later will be used for the EVM to execute those instructions of the smart contract.

If you have any doubt, please let us know so we can help you! :slight_smile:

  1. What does the EVM do?
    Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is an application that reads all nodes in the Ethereum network and executes smart contracts using the CPU of a node indirectly.
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    EVM reads in the programming language Solidity, but it may change to viper in the future.
  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity creates instructions and then compiles it into byte code.
  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin can’t do what Ethereum can because it is not turing complete. Bitcoin’s purpose is to solely be digital gold.
  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Turing complete programming language is being able to execute complex operations such as loops. In theory, it is possible to compile any program.

Hi,

Okay – more detail:

EVM = Ethereum Virtual Machine:. It is the main way that Ethereum works. The programme is distributed at the nodes rather than in a central place.

Hope that explains it okay.

Regards,

Malcolm

  1. it separates the smart contract coding from the main cpu
  2. byte code, currently solidity
  3. solidity is a program that turns a more simple language into a more complex language the evm was designed to read and understand
  4. it’s not a complete programming language and cannot handle loops, it’s not a turing-complete programming language
  5. a language that is universal to all turing-complete languages

  1. EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine. It does read and execute smart contract, act as a gate between a smart contract and a CPU.
  2. EVM uses Solidity language to compile (read) bytecode.
  3. EVM compiles Solidity script to produce bytecode that is executed on CPU.
  4. Solidity is not being used in Bitcoin. No program instruction to do specific tasks in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not Turing complete.
  5. Programming language which can instruct computer to do specific, complex tasks.

  1. Ethereum Virtual Machine is installed on all the nodes and runs the smart contracts.
  2. Byte Code (written in Solidity)
  3. Solidity is like .js and used to write byte code so the EMV can understand and execute it.
  4. Because it would bog down the blockchain / network. BTC is best left as virtual gold.
  5. TC is a language that can complete a task and loop back through it.

EVM runs solidity code on supported OS
Creates a buffer between Solidity code and the machine hardware.

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

Solidity -> Bytecode

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

Solidity is compiled into Bytecode

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

Bitcoin has a scripting language that is not Turing complete, bitcoin’s block-chain does not
allow for any complex code.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

This means the code can be made to build any app in a similar way to C / Java

  1. EVM is essentially a security layer on top of the CPU to encapsulate contracts made on the Ethereum network. It executes the instructions given from the smart contracts and validates them on a network of other nodes to prevent the CPU from having to execute the contract itself. This prevents malicious code that seeks to harm or steal information on the users computer.

  2. Bytes code.

  3. Solidity is the programming language used to create the smart contracts instructions on Ethereum. Byte code is essentially a language that EVM can read that gets compiled from the original code written in Solidity.

3)Bitcoin runs a simple program called Script which is not turing complete meaning that it is not able to solve all mathematical problems that it is asked.

  1. A turing complete language means that it can solve any mathematical problem given to it allowing it to be able to build any application in theory.
