The storage example where set calls get and throws the answer away
Historical Significance
The contract the Solidity documentation opens with, and for most readers of the period the first one they compiled. It teaches the one thing the EVM does that a script does not: a number written here survives the transaction that wrote it, is readable by anyone, and costs real money to change.
Context
Deployed in November 2015 on the Frontier chain.
Key Facts
Description
The set and get pair from the Solidity documentation's opening example, with set calling get immediately after writing and discarding what comes back. The call is real, not optimised out, so the deployed code carries a jump into the getter and straight back. It reads like someone checking that an internal call compiled the way they expected.
