##CREATING A TOKEN
This Solidity program demonstrates fundamental syntax and functionality in the process of creating a token. It serves as an initial reference for individuals new to Solidity, aiding in their comprehension of its operations. The objective of this program is to generate tokens and foster acquaintance with the Solidity programming language.
#Understanding
The present Solidity program is a fundamental contract designed for Ethereum blockchain smart contracts. It encompasses variables such as public and mapping, in addition to functions for minting and burning. This program serves as an exceptional initiation to Solidity programming, imparting a lucid comprehension of its syntax. It acts as a preliminary stage for novices, furnishing them with a groundwork to confront more intricate undertakings in the future.
#Getting Started
To execute the Program Use Remix, an online Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Solidity, kindly proceed to the official Remix website at https://remix.ethereum.org/. Utilize this platform to initiate the program's execution.
Upon accessing the Remix website, kindly initiate the creation of a new file by selecting the "+" icon located on the left-hand sidebar. It is recommended to save the file with a .sol extension, for instance, MyToken.sol. Subsequently, kindly proceed to copy and paste the code provided below into the newly created file.
//SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity 0.8.18;
contract MyToken {
// public variables here string public tokenname = "NITHIN"; string public tokenabbrv = "ENK"; uint public totalsupply = 0;
// mapping variable here mapping(address => uint) public balances;
// mint function function mint (address _address, uint _value) public { totalsupply += _value; balances[_address] += _value; }
// burn function function burn (address _address, uint _value) public { if (balances[_address] >= _value) { totalsupply -= _value; balances[_address] -= _value; } } }
To compile the code, kindly navigate to the "Solidity Compiler" tab located on the left-hand sidebar. Ensure that the "Compiler" option is appropriately configured to "0.8.4" or any other compatible version, and subsequently click on the "Compile MyToken.sol" button.
After compiling the code, the contract can be deployed by accessing the "Deploy & Run Transactions" tab located in the left-hand sidebar. From the dropdown menu, choose the "MyToken" contract and proceed by clicking the "Deploy" button.
Upon deployment of the contract, one may engage with it by invoking the mint and burn functions. To do so, navigate to the "MyToken" contract located in the left-hand sidebar, and select the tokenname, tokenabbrv, and totelsupply options. Subsequently, select the "mint" function and execute it by clicking on the "transact" button to generate coins. Similarly, to remove coins, select the "burn" function.
