It is very easy to deploy new contracts using Mist. Mist provides an interface where contracts can be written in solidity and then deployed on the network.
In the exercise, a simple contract that can perform various simple arithmetic calculations on the input parameter will be used. Steps on how to use Mist to deploy this contract are shown here. As we have not yet introduced Solidity, the aim here is to allow users to experience the contract deployment and interaction process.
More information on coding and Solidity will be provided later in Chapter 13, Development Tools and Frameworks and Chapter 14, Introducing Web3, after which the following code will become easy to understand. Those of you who are already ...
