Solidity programming language: hex string, enum enum

Hexadecimal string

The hexadecimal string hex is not a Solidity data type because you cannot use hex as a type. When hex is added to the front of the literal, its role is to define the data format of the literal, which must be an even-numbered string of [0-9a-fA-F]. This way, when a specific data type is used to reference a hex string, it is implicitly converted. For example, string memory h = hex"010A31", the actual content of the converted string h is \u0001\n1.

In addition, when using a fixed-length byte array of types bytes4, the hex length cannot exceed the actual length of the reference type. For example, bytes4 b = hex "AABBccddee" cannot be compiled.

pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0; contract EgHex{ function test() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A31"; //string memory h = hex"010G" return h; } function test1() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A"; return h; } function test2() public returns(bytes4){ //bytes4 b = hex"AABBccddee"; bytes4 c = hex"AABB"; bytes4 b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } function test3() public returns(bytes memory){ bytes memory b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } } 

pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0; contract EgHex{ function test() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A31"; //string memory h = hex"010G" return h; } function test1() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A"; return h; } function test2() public returns(bytes4){ //bytes4 b = hex"AABBccddee"; bytes4 c = hex"AABB"; bytes4 b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } function test3() public returns(bytes memory){ bytes memory b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } }

pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0; contract EgHex{ function test() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A31"; //string memory h = hex"010G" return h; } function test1() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A"; return h; } function test2() public returns(bytes4){ //bytes4 b = hex"AABBccddee"; bytes4 c = hex"AABB"; bytes4 b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } function test3() public returns(bytes memory){ bytes memory b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } }

pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0; contract EgHex{ function test() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A31"; //string memory h = hex"010G" return h; } function test1() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A"; return h; } function test2() public returns(bytes4){ //bytes4 b = hex"AABBccddee"; bytes4 c = hex"AABB"; bytes4 b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } function test3() public returns(bytes memory){ bytes memory b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } }

pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0; contract EgHex{ function test() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A31"; //string memory h = hex"010G" return h; } function test1() public returns(string memory){ string memory h = hex"010A"; return h; } function test2() public returns(bytes4){ //bytes4 b = hex"AABBccddee"; bytes4 c = hex"AABB"; bytes4 b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } function test3() public returns(bytes memory){ bytes memory b = hex"AABBccdd"; return b; } }

Enumen enum

Enumeration types in Solidity are basically the same as in other programming languages. Let's look at an example, such as defining a season's enumeration.

Pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0;

 contract EgEnum{ enum Season{Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter} 

Function printSeason(Season s) public returns(Season) { return s; }

Function test1() public returns(Season){ return printSeason(Season.Spring); }

Function test2() public returns(uint){ uint s = uint(Season.Spring); return s; }

Function test3() public returns(Season){ //Season s = Season(5);//Boundary Season s = Season(3); return s; } }

  1. The actual type of enum is an unsigned integer. When the number of enumerations is in the range of 0-127, then enum is of type uint8. If it is in the range of 0-32,767, then enum is uint16 type, and so on.
  2. Since enum is a uint type, you can do type conversion. For example, uint s = uint(Season.Spring) converts the enumeration of the Season type to uint, and of course you can convert it to uint8, as long as it does not cross the boundary. Similarly, Season s = Season(3) converts uint to Season type. Also note that the integer does not exceed the range of the enumeration. For example, Season's range is 0-3. If you convert 5 to Season, you will run an exception and the compiler will pass.
