Set up solidity environment
• Installing Code editor (remix, visual studio code)
• Installing node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) for
package management.
• Use this link: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
• Installing Solidity compiler (solc) and Ethereum development
tools (e.g.,Truffle, Hardhat).
• Use this link: https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/installing-
solidity.html
Solidity program syntax
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >=0.8.0;
contract HelloGeeks {
uint a;
function set(uint x) public {
a = x;
}
function get() public view returns (uint) {
return a;
}
}
• Pragma
• The first line is a pragma directive which tells that the source
code is written for Solidity version
• Contract
• A Solidity contract is a collection of code (its functions) and data
(its state) that resides at a specific address on the Ethereum
blockchain.
• The line uint storedData declares a state variable called
storedData of type uint and the functions set and get can be
used to modify or retrieve the value of the
variable(uint=undefined intiger)
• Importing Files
import "filename";
• Variables
Variables in Solidity are used to store data that
can be used later in the program. There are
different types of variables like uint (unsigned
integer), string, bool (boolean), etc.
• Example uint =23;
Functions
• Functions in Solidity are similar to functions in
other programming languages. They are used to
perform specific tasks or operations.

function set(uint x) public {


a = x; }
function get() public view returns (uint) {
return a;}
Control Structures
• Control structures
are used to control
the flow of the
program. Solidity
supports various
control structures
such as if/else
statements, loops.
Keyword Explanation
• abstract : Indicates that a contract or function is incomplete and
must be implemented by a child contract.
• Address: A 20-byte Ethereum address.
• Bool: A boolean value (true or false).
• Block: Exits a loop or switch statement.
• Bytes: A dynamic byte array.
• bytes32 : A 32-byte array.
• Constant: Indicates that a function does not modify the contract
state.
• Contract: Defines a smart contract.
• enum: A user-defined type that can only have a
certain set of values.
• Event: A way to log an occurrence in the contract.

• External:Indicates that a function can only be


called from outside the contract.
• Function: Defines a function.
• if : A conditional statement.
