Version 0.4.25 f u n c t i o n f u n c t i o n 1 ( a d d r e s s p1 , u i n t p2 ) 4. Enums

{ Enums are one way to create a user-defined type in Solidity where
1. Introduction / / body o f f u n c t i o n h e r e } a keyword can be mapped to an integer value.
Solidity is a high-level programming language, to implement // default function Example
smart contracts. function ( ) {
throw ; c o n t r a c t Enums {
It has Python, C++ and JavaScript influences and is used for } } enum Ac { G o L e f t , G o R i g h t , G o S t r a i g h t , S i t S t i l l
Ethereum Virtual Machine ( EVM ). }
Ac c h o i c e ;
For the purposes of learning, Remix is currently the most optimal A _ c o n s t a n t = Ac . G o S t r a i g h t ;
3. Datatypes
way of trying out Solidity. function s e t S i t S t i l l () {

Booleans

The possible values are constants true and false.

bool foo = true;
Integers 5. Operators
pragma s o l i d i t y 0 . 4 . 8 ;
/ / import s e c t i o n • int - signed integer Booleans
import " filename " ;
/ / begin the c o n t r a c t • uint256 - unsigned integer
• ! -> (logical negation)
c o n t r a c t ContractName {

This is a Bytes

*/ array is ‘bytes32‘.
// State Variables • != - > (inequality)
bytes32 foo =
address public stateVariable1 ; 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
uint public stateVariable2 ; FFFFFFFFF;
uint private stateVariable3 ; 6. Arrays
Strings
s t r i n g p u b l i c c o n s t a n t ID = 0 x 1 2 3 4 ;
String literals are written with either double or single-quotes (foo Operators
/ / Events
or bar). Index access: x[k] for 0 <= k < len(x) returns the k-th element.
event _Event1 ( address par1 , u i n t par2 ) ;
Example: Members
e v e n t _ E v e n t 2 ( a d d r e s s pa ram1 ) ;
string text = "Hello World"; .length returns size of the array.
event _Event3 ( ) ;

Since version 0.4.13 we have a new Exception handling in Solidity. }
Instead of a simple throw we have now revert(), require() and }

contract MappingExample { i f ( msg . s e n d e r ! = owner ) { t h r o w ; } A contract can have exactly one unnamed function. This function
mapping ( address => u i n t ) p u b l i c balances ; cannot have arguments and cannot return anything. It is executed
function update ( u i n t newBalance ) p u b l i c { currently behaves exactly the same as all of the following: on a call to the contract if none of the other functions matches the
balances [ msg . s e n d e r ] = n e w B a l a n c e ; } } i f ( msg . s e n d e r ! = owner ) { r e v e r t ( ) ; } given function identifier (or if no data was supplied at all).

}
• Accessing any of the members of the block, tx, msg (with
the exception of msg.sig and msg.data).
8. Library • Calling any function not marked pure.
Example
pragma s o l i d i t y ^ 0 . 4 . 1 6 ; • Using inline assembly that contains certain opcodes.

struct bigint { Example
uint [ ] limbs ; } } pragma s o l i d i t y ^ 0 . 4 . 1 6 ;
