‘assembly’ and ‘inline assembly’
Both the keywords are typically used when we’re trying to define assembly level bytecode for the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) directly.
- Used for code optimization.
- It requires technical expertise and advanced solidity EVM knowledge.
- Assembly language code can be written in the assembly block inside a function like below:
Example:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
pragma solidity ^0.8.25;
contract AssemblyContract {
// Function defining the assembly block
function assemblyFunction() public pure {
assembly {
// Assembly code here
}
}
}
Explanation:
The function defines an assembly block where you can directly write assembly code.
Unlock the Power of Solidity: Exploring the Essential Keywords for Smart Contract Development
Solidity is a smart contract programming language built solely to develop smart contracts that can be deployed on blockchains. C++ and JavaScript inspired it, an Object Oriented and High-Level language (HLL), that helps developers define the behaviour and rules for a Decentralized Application (Dapp). Smart contract facilitates autonomous, secure, and efficient transaction execution on the blockchain without needing any intermediary (self-executable) and solidity provides the base framework for achieving the same.
It is essential to understand the common keywords used in solidity to solidify your core understanding of the language so in this article, we’ll pin down some prominent keywords that help us develop these smart contracts by embracing the true power of solidity language.
