Understanding Solidity linters

Linters are the utility tools that analyze the given source code and report programming errors, bugs, and stylistic errors. For the Solidity language, there are some linter tools available that a developer can use to improve the quality of their Solidity contracts. These tools report the known pattern of errors or bugs and also check any security flaws that could be checked by the developers to ensure the safety of the contract.

However, these linter tools should be used along with the compiler's reported warnings. Because the compiler itself reports many warnings and informs the developer about the best language guidelines, it also suggests using the improved language syntax to reduce the security bug. You ...
