How to create, deploy and manage solidity contract on blockchain

Blockchain is the hottest technology now days, and smart contracts are the business logic or a protocol according to which all the transactions on a Blockchain happen.

We are talking about develop and deploy a Smart contract on Ethereum blockchain, today.

So I am assuming that you are familiar with the smart contracts. You knows what is smart contract and how it’s working.

I am taking a small example to store and read a value on blockchain by smart contract.


pragma solidity >=0.4.16 <0.7.0;

contract SolidityStorage {
    uint256 storedData = 5;

    function set(uint256 _x) public {
        storedData = _x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint256) {
        return storedData;
    }
}

This is a basic example to store a value on blockchain.
Let’s explain this example.

pragma solidity >=0.4.16 <0.7.0;

This is the compiler version of the solidity. You can change it to your requirements. Solidity is the language which use to create smart contract for ethereum.

contract SolidityStorage

This is denote the our contract name. “contract” is keyword to define a contract just like “class” in oops.

 uint256 storedData = 5;

This is the variable to store a value in it just like other programming languages. uint256 is the variable type.

What is uint256?

Obviously, this question must be arising in your mind. This is just a type of int variable but this have its own definition.
U - unsigned (meaning this type can only represent positive integers, not positive and negative integers)
INT - integer
256 - 256 bits in size

function set(uint256 _x) public {
        storedData = _x;
    }



This is function which we use to change the value of store.

function get() public view returns (uint256) {
        return storedData;
    }


This is the last in this contract. This function is use to return the stored value in your smart contract.


Deploy and contract interaction


I am using the eth-brownie for deploying the smart contract on blockchain.

Setup your project according to this package. Read the documentation carefully.

Create a file deploy.py in scripts folder -

from brownie import SolidityStorage, accounts

def main():
    token = accounts[0].deploy(SolidityStorage)



Now you have completed your smart contract development.

Now we start the smart contract execution. Just run  following commands.

brownie compile

brownie deploy.py

Congratulations. Your first smart contract is deployed on blockchain.
 
You can change in you main function to test the values.



def main():
    token = accounts[0].deploy(SolidityStorage)
    storedValue = token.get()
    # to set new value
    token.set(10)

   

token.set(10), this will change the default value 5 to 10 in stored contract.

So this is the just so basic example. You can modify this according to your requirements and develop a smart business logics on the blockchain with using the smart contract.

Day 9 - Challenge 1 - Product of Array Except Self

Solving the "Product of Array Except Self" Problem in JavaScript Are you ready to dive into a common coding challenge that not only tests your programming skills but also sharpens your problem-solving mindset? If you're up for the challenge, let's tackle the "Product of Array Except Self" problem together using JavaScript. This problem requires us to return an array where each element at index i is the product of all the elements in the original array except the one at index i . Understanding the Problem:   Imagine you're given an array of integers, let's call it nums . Your task is to create a new array where the value at index i in this new array is the product of all the elements in nums , except the one at index i . In other words, you're calculating the product of all the elements to the left of nums[i] and the product of all the elements to the right of nums[i] , and then multiplying these two products to get the final value at index i ...

Day 9 - Challenge 2 - Reverse Linked List

Reversing a Singly Linked List in JavaScript: An In-Place Approach Introduction:   Singly linked lists are fundamental data structures in computer science that consist of a sequence of nodes, each containing data and a reference to the next node in the list. Reversing a singly linked list is a classic problem that challenges programmers to manipulate pointers effectively to achieve the desired outcome. In this blog post, we'll explore the problem of reversing a singly linked list using an in-place approach and provide a step-by-step solution in JavaScript. Problem Statement:   Given the head of a singly linked list, our task is to reverse the list in-place and return its new head. In other words, we need to modify the pointers of the nodes in such a way that the direction of the linked list is reversed. Solution Approach:   To solve this problem, we will iterate through the linked list while maintaining three pointers: previous , current , and next . The previous pointer...

Day 8 - Challenge 2 - Move Zeroes to the End

Moving Zeroes to the End: A JavaScript Solution Introduction:   When working with arrays, there are often times when we need to manipulate their elements to achieve a specific goal. One common problem is moving all zeroes to the end of an array while keeping the order of non-zero elements unchanged. In this blog post, we will explore an elegant solution to this problem using JavaScript. We'll discuss the problem statement, the approach we'll take, and provide a step-by-step guide to implementing the solution. The Problem:   Given an array of integers, the task is to move all zeroes to the end of the array while maintaining the relative order of the non-zero elements. This means that after rearranging the array, all the zeroes should be at the end, and the order of the non-zero elements should remain the same. The Approach:   To solve this problem, we can utilize a two-pointer approach. We'll maintain two pointers, one for iterating through the array and another for keepin...
