How do I create a smart contract?

Creating a smart contract involves defining the rules and conditions in code, usually on a blockchain like Ethereum. Do you have a specific platform in mind?

I'm thinking about using Ethereum. What programming language should I use?

For Ethereum, you typically use Solidity, which is specifically designed for writing smart contracts. Would you like to see a simple example?

Yes, please! A simple example would be great.

Here's a basic example of a smart contract in Solidity:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint storedData;

    function set(uint x) public {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint) {
        return storedData;
    }
}

This contract allows you to store and retrieve a number. Do you have any questions about it?
