🏌️ Hole 4: Solidity by Example

Developer’s Tee-Off: As you dive deeper into the world of Ethereum development, Hole 4 takes you on a journey through  SoliditybyExample. This isn't just a tutorial; it's a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering smart contracts with practical, hands-on examples. Your mission is to navigate through practical examples and pinpoint key values for your shot.

Navigate Through Examples to Find Values:

- Type Hunting: Visit the Primitive Data Types page. Look for the value assigned to the uint8 public variable u8.

- Gas Gauge: In the Gas and Gas Price section, find the missing value in the expression while (true) i += ?.

- Event Logging: Check the Events section. Identify the maximum number of parameters that can be indexed within an event.

- Ether Transaction Tracking: Go to Sending Ether section. Count the number of arguments in the sendViaCall(???) function.

ℹ️ As you collect each number, think of it as building a puzzle. Each piece helps you understand how Solidity, the language of Ethereum, works. This challenge is about more than just finding numbers; it's about learning to think like a programmer. When you add up your ETH total, you're using what you've learned to get better at creating smart contracts, which are the building blocks of Ethereum apps. It's like putting together a neat and tidy piece of code that can do amazing things in the world of Ethereum.

🏌️ Hole 5: Gas ⛽️

Embark on a journey through the energy currents of Ethereum - the world of Gas - the essential fuel that powers transactions and smart contracts. Understanding Gas is crucial. It determines how transactions are processed on the Ethereum network.
Your mission is to explore how Gas works in Ethereum, learn about its pricing, and understand the vital role it plays in the network's functionality.

Let's navigate to the documentation section titled Ethereum GAS AND FEES and explore the following values:

- Scroll to the section titled "How are Gas fees calculated?" and determine into how many components the Gas you pay is divided.

- In the same resource, find out how much tip in gwei, Jordan includes to pay Taylor 1 ETH.

Note those numbers.

For the next value, visit Milkroad's Ethereum Gas Guide.
- Under the "What Is Ethereum Gas?" section, look up how many billionths of an ETH one Gwei represents.

ℹ️ Completing this level will enhance your understanding of Ethereum's Gas dynamics, a crucial aspect of blockchain technology.
It will equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions regarding transaction fees and better understand the network's operation during different times. As you add up the values, reflect on the importance of Gas in the Ethereum network. It's more than just a transaction fee; it's the fuel that powers the blockchain, ensuring its security and functionality. By understanding Gas, you're not only improving your game but also equipping yourself with the knowledge to make informed decisions in the real-world blockchain ecosystem.

🏌️ Hole 6: Smart Contract Testing and Testnets 🧪

Step into the pivotal stage of smart contract creation: testing and testnets.
This level takes you through the intricacies of unit testing and the utilization of testnets, ensuring your contract's resilience and precision in the unyielding blockchain environment.

Visit TESTING SMART CONTRACTS
- Looking at the METHODS FOR TESTING SMART CONTRACTS, how many broad categories of testing for Ethereum smart contracts are there?

Now let's look at the OpenZeppelin Docs
- In the section Writing unit tests, find out how many tests are run and passing on the Box contract?
❓ Can you decode the logic behind the test?

And finally, lets do some testnet exploration at chainlist.org.
- Locate the chain ID for the Rinkeby testnet!

🧑‍🏫 Testing smart contracts both locally and on testnets is crucial, as it allows developers to identify and fix errors safely and efficiently before deploying to the mainnet, where changes are irreversible and potentially costly as seen in Level 4.

ℹ️ As you finish Hole 6, consider how each number adds to your knowledge bank, just like each test adds to the robustness of a smart contract. You're not only refining your gameplay strategy but also internalizing the discipline required for blockchain development. Add up the values with care, and take your shot with the confidence of a seasoned developer.

🏌️ Hole 8: Opcode Challenge 🥷

Intro to Opcodes: Dive into the foundational aspect of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) - Opcodes.
For smart contract developers, understanding opcodes is crucial, especially when it comes to calculating gas costs associated with executing EVM instructions.

Here, we have an unverified contract where you can see the opcodes and gain an understanding of how they work.
You are given sequences of opcodes. Your task is to decode the gas cost for each instruction in the given sequences.

Visit OPCODES FOR THE EVM, this page will be your reference to calculate the gas cost for each opcode.

After 0x the first sequence is as follows: 6080 6040 52

• PUSH1 0x80
• PUSH1 0x40
• MSTORE

- Calculate the total gas for this sequence.
🕵️ Find Opcode PUSH1 (Stack #60) and see how much gas it will use, then find MSTORE and calculate the gas consumed by this sequence.

Second Sequence: 6004 36 10

• PUSH1 0x04
• CALLDATASIZE 0x40
• LT

- Calculate the total gas for this sequence.

And the third sequence is: 61002d 57 6000

• PUSH2 0x002d
• JUMPI
• PUSH1 0x00

- Calculate the total gas cost for this opcode sequence.
Your skill in calculating these costs truly reflects your deepening understanding of the energy that powers the blockchain.

ℹ️ Finishing this challenge sharpens your technical skills, offering a peek into the detailed work needed for effective smart contract operations. In figuring out the gas costs, you're also fitting together parts of a larger puzzle, revealing the inner workings of Ethereum—where every opcode is a vital instruction that powers the blockchain's heartbeat. Understanding the gas cost of each opcode is essential for optimizing contract performance and managing transaction fees.
