Homework on EVM

Ethereum 101
#1946

  1. The EVM reads the smart contracts on the blockchain and share the information with the nodes.

  2. An EVM can read a smart contract as long as it is written in bytecode

  3. Solidity is a programming language used by the ETH programmers to create smart contracts. With the aid of a compiler, the smart contract is converted into bytecode which can be used by the EVM.

  4. Because the Bitcoin blockchain programmability is limited to what we call the script. The problem with the script of the Bitcoin blockchain is that it is not fully programmable. You cannot put smart contract on the bitcoin blockchain without spamming the network and increasing the size of the blocks to a problematic level.

  5. A Turing Complete programming language like Solidity is a fully programmable language used to create smart contracts.

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

  1. the evm is the program the executes the smart contract.

  2. byte code

  3. the code in solidity is translated into bytecode and then executed on the EVM, this way when Viper is used the EVM will not change as it is reading the bytecode which viper will be translated to.

  4. Bitcoin Script is not turing complete.

  5. solidity is a turing complete language as it is possible in theory to create any program with.

  1. What does the EVM do? The ethereum virtual machine is a application on all nodes that executes smart contracts, it reads the code (instructions) of the smart contract then communicate with the CPU to execute the instructions. EVM makes sure nothing malicious happens to your computer by encapsulating the smart contract and acts like the middle man between smart contract and the CPU.
  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? EVM reads byte code.
  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode? Solidity is the program language of ethereum. When a program is written in solidity there is a compiler application that takes the solidity code and compiles the instructions into byte code then the EVM will read it and execute the instructions.
  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can? Bitcoin uses the program language script, it can do basic smart contracts but it is not turing complete meaning it cannot solve all problems.
  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language? Turing complete means anything you can think of and can program can be done. It also has loops a feature of the program language that can tell software to repeat instructions several times.

  1. The EVM reads the instructions written (in Solidity) for the Ethereum Blockchain.
  2. They are written in Solidity, a programming language.
  3. Solidity takes instructions written by the programmer and then a compiler turns it into byte code for EVM to read and execute.
  4. Bitcoin does not have a Turing-Complete programming language - it is limited in what it can do.
  5. A language that can do anything you program it to do, as opposed to one that can only follow certain instructions.

  1. The EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is the part of the Ethereum blockchain that handles smart contracts; “The CPU”
    2.- EVM can read EVM Byte Code.
    3.-Solidity is a higher level programming language that compiles into EVM Byte Code.
    4.- Bitcoin’s programming language Script, is Not Turing Complete. It cannot do complex operations like loops. Solidity in exchange is Turing Complete.
    5.-Turing completeness is a concept in computer science in where a computer is capable of replicating what other computers can do. Similarly, a programming language is Turing complete if it can perform all the computations other programming languages can do.

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

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.

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

  1. What does the EVM do?
    EVM look at the instruction and tell CPU to execute them. Will reach some kind of result.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    EVM reads byte code after the solidity or viper have compiled these languages into bytecode.

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Solidity is a high level programming language but bytecode are machine-readable computer language

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin is runned on scirpt which is not a turning complete language it cannot solve all the problems. Has limited sequantial and stack based operations which is not suritable for complex operations.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    A turning complete language is a language that is complex and allows any further programming to be done if required further down the road. It also has loop features where it can do looping for an infinite amount of time

  2. The format of the instructions that the EVM reads is Bytecode.

  3. A smart contract is written in Solidity and compiled into EVM bytecode.

  4. Bitcoin is not turing complete like Ethereum.

Answer

The EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) acts like, on the Ethereum Network, a CPU does on a local computer. It reads, follows, and performs instructions from a given program.

Answer

Bytecode

Answer

They are both instructions for the EVM to read, follow, and perform. The programming language Solidity is more human readable and thus is used by the programmer to write instructions. The EVM cannot read the Solidity language directly so it must be compiled by the compiler into Bytecode so the EVM can read the instructions.

Answer

The same type of complex programs performed on Ethereum can’t be performed on Bitcoin because the programming language on Bitcoin, Script, is a Non Turing Complete language. This was deliberately chosen by the Bitcoin developers to keep spam off the network.

Answer

A Turing Complete programming language is a programming language that has automation capable commands such as Loops.

(1) The EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) works like a CPU. It performs / runs smart contracts in Byte Code.

(2) Byte Code

(3) Both are instructions for the EVM. Solidity is more readable for humans. It is compiled by the compiler to byte so the evm is able to read the smart contracts and execute them.

(4) Bitcoin can only rund transactions - Script does not allow special functions. It was chosen to keep spam off the network.

(5) A turing complete programming language is a programming language that allows commands as loops.
