Follow the Recipe
We will be using the following smart contract to learn about Solidity. You will not write code or do anything except read in this recipe.

Solidity in Action
As with many data sources, data is often read more than it is written. In this case we are going to use the blockchain explorer to confirm the value that is being returned for the function hello() above.
Scroll down in the website window below and find the 1. hello → XXXXX and see what it says!
