Etherium smart contracts

People who are somewhat interested in cryptocurrency (virtual currency) have heard of smart contracts.
It may be used in other areas, but here we will learn about the meaning of smart contracts used in cryptocurrency.

What is the meaning of the smart contract?

Smart contract means a contract that can be made by program.
Usually, when two parties make a deal, third-party intervention is required, and smart contracts allow two parties to set the terms of the deal without having to trust the other third-party to execute the deal.
For example, suppose Mike has contracted to pay Jane $10 at the beginning of each month for the next 12 months.
This can be programmed using smart contracts as follows:
First, check the current date and set up the program to automatically send Jane $10 at the beginning of each month.
Repeat until the funds you have are exhausted.
And pay 12 times in 12 months and end.

Smart contracts eliminate the need for third-party intermediaries and make these transactions transparent.
Smart contracts operate on the principle of "if this, then that."
Whenever certain conditions are met, smart contracts perform as programmed.

 

 

The representative cryptocurrency with this smart contract is Ethereum.
Cryptocurrency except Bitcoin is called Altcoin, and Etherium is the most representative coin among Altcoin.
There are thousands of Altcoins, the most famous of which are Ethereum, LightCoin, Ripple, etc.

 

What programming language is used by Etherium to create smart contracts?

Typically, there are two representative languages used to create the Etherum Smart Agreement:
Of course, I think it's possible in other languages, but I don't know much about programming languages, so I'll just mention two representative languages.
The first is called Solidity, which is very similar to JavaScript and C++.
I know JavaScript and C++ are compilation languages, but they are difficult languages unless you are a major.

 

 

It is known as a programming language that is difficult for people who are not familiar with computer programming, but it is said to be similar to these programs, so I am not interested.
Another language is called Viper, a relatively new language that is very similar to Python.
Python is commonly known as a language that is easy for people who are not familiar with computer programming to enter.
But I think it's hard to know because I learned a little bit, but I still feel friendly.
When a programming language or subject like this comes up in virtual currency (cryptocurrency), I want to learn a lot about these things.
I should study as soon as possible instead of just thinking about this.
