LEARN SOLIDITY LESSON 3: Function Declarations. Private / Public Functions. Return Values of Functions.

LEARN SOLIDITY LESSON

Function Declarations. Private / Public Functions. Return Values of Functions.


Function Declarations

A function declaration in solidity looks like the following:
function eatHamburgers(string memory _name, uint _amount) public {

}//CALLeatHamburgers("vitalik", 100);

Private and Public Functions

In Solidity, functions are public by default. Need practice to mark your functions as private by default, and then only make public the functions you want to expose to the world.

uint[] numbers;//private function _addToArray(uint _number) private { }//public function addToArray(uint _number) public { }

Return Values of Functions

function declaration contains the type of the return value. To return a value from a function, the declaration looks like this:
Summary for English Visiterstring strHello = "learn-solidity.blogspot.com";

function sayHello() public view returns (string memory) {  return strHello;
}function _multiply(uint a, uint b) private pure returns (uint) {
  return a * b;
}

LEARN SOLIDITY LESSON 11: Payable function. Withdraws Ether & Transfer ETH. Check Balance in SOLIDITY

LEARN SOLIDITY LESSON 11 Payable function. Withdraws Ether & Transfer ETH. Check Balance in SOLIDITY Payable function payable functions are part of what makes Solidity and Ethereum so cool — they are a special type of function that can receive Ether. contract OnlineStore { function buySomething() external payable { // Check to make sure 0.001 ether was sent to the function call: require(msg.value == 0.001 ether); // If so, some logic to transfer the digital item to the caller of the function: transferThing(msg.sender); } } Note: If a function is not marked payable and you try to send Ether to it as above, the function will reject your transaction. Withdraws Ether. Get Balance ETH You can write a function to withdraw Ether from the contract as follows: contract GetPaid is Ownable { function withdraw() external onlyOwner { address payable _owner = address(uint160(owner())); _owner.transfer(address(this).balance); } } It is important to note that you c...

LEARN SOLIDITY LESSON 8: Interacting with other contracts. Interface Solidity

LEARN SOLIDITY LESSON Interface Solidity. Interacting with other contracts.  Interface Solidity.  Define an interface of the LuckyNumber contract: contract LuckyNumber { mapping(address => uint) numbers; function setNum(uint _num) public { numbers[msg.sender] = _num; } function getNum(address _myAddress) public view returns (uint) { return numbers[_myAddress]; } } contract NumberInterface { function getNum(address _myAddress) public view returns (uint); } 1. For one, we're only declaring the functions we want to interact with — in this case getNum — and we don't mention any of the other functions or state variables. 2. Secondly, we're not defining the function bodies. Instead of curly braces ({ and }), we're simply ending the function declaration with a semi-colon (;). Interacting with other contracts.  In this way, your contract can interact with any other contract on the Ethereum blockchain, as long they expose those functions as public or ext...
