# Cairo
Cairo is StarkNet's native language and the first Turing-complete language for scripting provable programs (where one party can prove to another that a certain computation was executed correctly) for general computations.
Cairo is a Turing-complete language that allows you write provable programs
(where one party can prove to another that a certain computation
was executed correctly) on StarkNet.
# StarkNet
StarkNet is a decentralized ZK-rollup that operates as an Ethereum layer 2 chain. StarkNet enables Decentralized applications to achieve unlimited scale for their computation - without compromising Ethereum's decentralization and security, thereby solving the Scalability Trilemma.
In this document, we are going to be going in-depth into understanding Cairo's syntax and how you could create and deploy a Cairo smart contract on StarkNet.

# Setting Up A Development Environment
Before we get started writing codes, we will need to setup a Cairo development environment, for writing, compiling and deploying our contracts to StarkNet.
For the purpose of this tutorial we are going to be using the [Protostar Framework](https://github.com/software-mansion/protostar). Installation steps can be found in the docs [here](https://docs.swmansion.com/protostar/docs/tutorials/installation).
Note that Protostar supports just Mac and Linux OS, Windows users might need to use WSL, or go for other alternatives such as the Official [StarkNet CLI](https://www.cairo-lang.org/docs/quickstart.html) or [Nile from Openzeppelin](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/nile)
Once you're done with the installations, run the command `protostar -v` to confirm your installation was successful. If successful, you should see your Protostar version displayed on the screen.

Protostar similar to Truffle for solidity development can be installed once and used for multiple projects.

To initialize a new Protostar project, run the following command:

# Compiling, Declaring, Deploying And Interacting With StarkNet Contracts
For the purpose of this tutorial, head over to this [github repo](https://github.com/Darlington02/CairoLearnXinYminutes) and clone locally.
Within the `src` folder you'll find a boilerplate contract that comes with initializing a new Protostar project, `main.cairo`. We are going to be compiling, declaring and deploying this contract.

## Compiling Contracts
To compile a Cairo contract using Protostar, ensure a path to the contract is specified in the `[contracts]` section of the `protostar.toml` file. Once you've done that, open your terminal and run the command:

And you should get an output similar to what you see below, with a `main.json` and `main_abi.json` files created in the `build` folder.

## Declaring Contracts
With the recent StarkNet update to 0.10.3, the DEPLOY transaction was deprecated and no longer works. To deploy a transaction, you must first declare a Contract to obtain the class hash, then deploy the declared contract using the [Universal Deployer Contract](https://community.starknet.io/t/universal-deployer-contract-proposal/1864).
Before declaring or deploying your contract using Protostar, you should set the private key associated with the specified account address in a file, or in the terminal. To set your private key in the terminal, run the command:

auto
```
where `network` specifies the network we are deploying to, `account` specifies account whose private key we are using, `max-fee` specifies the maximum fee to be paid for the transaction. You should get the class hash outputted as seen below:

### 10. REGISTERS
```
```cairo
// Registers holds values that may change over time.
// There are 3 major types of Registers:
// 1. ap (allocation pointer) points to a yet unused memory. Temporary variables created using `let`, `tempvar` are held here, and thus susceptible to being revoked
// 2. fp (frame pointer) points to the frame of the current function. The address of all the function arguments and local variables are relative to this register and as such can never be revoked
// 1. ap (allocation pointer) points to a yet unused memory. Temporary
// variables created using `let`, `tempvar` are held here, and thus susceptible to
// being revoked
// 2. fp (frame pointer) points to the frame of the current function. The
// address of all the function arguments and local variables are relative to this
// register and as such can never be revoked
// 3. pc (program counter) points to the current instruction
```
### 11. REVOKED REFERENCES
```
// Revoked references occurs when there is a call instruction to another function, between the definition of a reference variable that depends on `ap`(temp variables) and its usage. This occurs as the compiler may not be able to compute the change of `ap` (as one may jump to the label from another place in the program, or call a function that might change ap in an unknown way).

// Here is an example to demonstrate what I mean:

let multiplier = 2;
let (balance) = get_balance();
let new_balance = balance * multiplier;
return (res=new_balance);
}
// If you run that code, you'll run into the revoked reference error as we are trying to access the `multiplier` variable after calling the get_balance function;
// If you run that code, you'll run into the revoked reference error as we

// To solve revoked references, In simple cases you can resolve this issue, by adding the keyword, `alloc_locals` within function scopes, but in most complex cases you might need to create a local variable to resolve it.
