Homework on EVM

Ethereum 101
#1845

  1. The EVM works with the CPU on each node to execute the instructions for smart contracts to ensure security and transparency for the smart contract.

  2. The instructions that the EVM can read is Bytecode.

  3. Solidity is translated into Bytecode so that the EVM can read it.

  4. BTC is not turing complete. It has very limited programming ability. As an asset, BTC is primarily designed to hold value only, and is considered digital gold.

  5. A Turing Complete programming language is one that is easily programmable to do whatever a programmer wants to do. Ethereum is one example of a Turing Complete program on which other programs (coins) can be built.

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

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, so the format of the instructions that EVM reads is Bytecode. So basically the relationshit between them is that you code into Solidity/viper and it will be compiled into Bytecode, which is the binary code that EVM is able to read (read in terms that binary code is the same used on CPUs at low level, so is basically solidity code but compiled into binary code)

5.What is a Turing Complete programming language?

Quite right sir, but could you please describe it in general terms?

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

from compilers try to read them and telling the CPU to excite them.

2.Byte Code

3.Byte code is the language that smart contract is using to write its instruction and solidity is the language that Eth blockchain uses to whrite its programming application and communicate with other blocks and solidity through compilers can translate to byte codes so EVM can understand them and can give the instruction to CPU.

4.Because BTC is not a Turing complete programing language.

5.you can program anything you want ,it can solve all the problems and it unlimite

  1. The EVM reads the instructions of the smart contract and uses a nodeā€™s CPU to act upon them. It is an app shared by the whole network to increase security.

  2. Byte Code

  3. Solidity is compiled into byte code to be received by the EVM

  4. It does not have a Turing complete programming language. It was developed for one purpose and one purpose only

  5. It is a language that has the ability to program anything imaginable

  1. What does the EVM do?

EVMs brings the possibility for us to execute codes on the Ethereum blockchain network in such a way that we are all in consensus on what the result should be. EVMs are present in every node which helps the CPU in reading and executing smart contracts. EVMs also acts as a layer of protection by stopping any malicious smart contracts that could compromise a node and enable the spread of these malicious smart contracts throughout the network of nodes.

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

EVMs can read any code that is compiled in ByteCode.

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

Solidity is the programing language used to make the smart contract code. Solidity then uses a compiler to convert these lines of codes to ByteCode such that the EVMs can read it.

  1. Why canā€™t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?

Because Bitcoinā€™s programing language, ā€˜Scriptā€™ is very limited and is considered as a ā€œNot Turing Completeā€ language. This means that Script cannot solve some problems that might be required for a smart contract.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A Turning complete language allows us to program and functions and execute complex problems and opens up the possibility for features such as ā€˜Loopsā€™.

    1- The EVM (ethereuem virtual machine) verifies and executes the smart contract.
    2-The EVM reads the the instructions in bytecode which is compiled from a language program.
    3- The relation is: when we compile the solidity code, the compiler will translate the code to bytecode.
    4- a bitcoin is not turning complete, it doesnā€™t want to allow every thing to be coded like ethereum in order to avoid increasing size especially when making complex codes using loops and also to avoid that networks will be spammed.
    5-a Turing Complete programming language can simulate any turing machine.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    EVM is a code or a program running on the CPUā€™s of Ethereum, on the nodes of the network. It takes a look on all the instructions and do the calculation.

  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?
    The programming language solidity is used to get to Bytecode than can be read by EVM.

  4. Why canā€™t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin was not created do develop programs on, it is possible to do it, but itā€™s limited like script, and script is not a Turing complete, that means it cannot solve all problems could meet for some application. But solidity in Ethereum is a Turing complete

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Turing complete program has loops feature to tell the software to do something different time.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    EVM deploys instructions written in smart contract over network of computers and compares the results, thus achieving consensus on the network.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    It can only read Byte code. Byte code can be generated through Solidity or Viper.

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is a Ethereum programming language which allows to write turing complete code. The code is converted to Byte code that EVM can read and execute.

  4. Why canā€™t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    This is because Bitcoin is written in Script programming language which is not turing complete. Bitcoin is designed to be used to send/receive transactions only, i.e. function as money on internet.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Turing Complete programming language is programming language that allows developers to create and perform any operations such as loops, states, conditions. The functionality of the language is not limited by design.

The EVM reads instructions in smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It executes the instructions with the help of the CPU:s and other resources on Ethereum nodes.
The EVM reads the instructions in bytecode.
The smart contracts are written in human friendly code using Solidity. This code is compiled into bytecode.
Bitcoin decision makers wanted to keep things simple, without risking heavy code to slow down the network and increase block sizeā€¦ Another answer is, the programming language used by Bitcoin is not Turing complete. This is by choice, as mentioned earlier.
A Turing complete programming language can solve any and all problems that are solved with software.

It is Etheriumā€™s virtual machine, isolating byte-code execution from the rest of the nodes systems in order to prevent the hack of the node. The consensus somehow ensures that all instances of all running smart contracts come to the same result for each block.

Bytecode

Solidity is the programming language producing Bytecode

It is not a Turing Complete language. It does not have loops for example.

A language in which the solution of any formulable mathematical problem can be calculated in finite time (and finite length code).

EVM converts the smart contract, say in Solidityā€¦ into Byte Code in a sandbox to keep host computers safe as well Solidity, and now Viper and can do loops The relationship between Solidity and Bytecode is the EVM. Bitcoin network canā€™t run smart contracts because of the fear if spamming, clogging tā€¦

Wow, I thought I was doing better that thatā€¦ So I read some moreā€¦ See if I got this in my head nowā€¦

We write a smart contract in Solidity languageā€¦ It is then converted into Bytecode a binary string. That Bytecode is then run by the EVM so the CPU can understand and exicute.

It is then considered Tuling complete because I can be read, and executed many time again and again, by virtually any computer, or as I read Computationally Universal

Solidity is converted into Byte code by the Solc Converter. I think thatā€™s where is missed the point. I thought the EVM converted the code we type into bytecodeā€¦but not

I originally thought the EVM did the conversion

Are my thouht processes correct now?

Please reply I want to make sure I have my head wrapped around the process

Thanks
