What is Solidity?
Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts. Smart contracts are governing programs, which are executed behavior within the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
Why we use it
It is specifically designed for the Ethereum blockchain, making it the most important tool for developers looking to build decentralized applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network.
Core Concepts
- Contract-based: Similar to classes in C++ or Java.
- Statically typed: It supports complex user-defined types.
- Inheritance: Supports multiple inheritance and complex types.
