Blockchain Fundamentals, Data Structures, and Algorithms for Data Science by Cüneyt Gürcan Akçora, Murat Kantarcioglu, Yulia R. Gel
Requirements: .PDF reader, 10 MB
Overview: Offering a systematic exploration of blockchain networks from both technical and analytical viewpoints, this book introduces the core structures that underpin blockchain systems, transactions, addresses, and smart contracts and explains how these can be modeled, visualized, and analyzed using modern data science methods. Bridging Computer Science, finance, and statistics, it integrates algorithmic reasoning with economic intuition to study decentralization, risk, and trust in digital economies. Through examples drawn from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Monero, Zcash, IOTA, and DeFi, readers learn how blockchain data can be transformed into graph and temporal models for fraud detection, systemic risk analysis, and network behavior prediction. Featuring clear explanations, illustrative figures, and Solidity code, this volume serves as an essential reference for students, researchers, and practitioners in finance, Data Science, statistics, Machine Learning, and distributed systems. In this chapter, you will learn how to write, deploy, and interact with smartcontracts using Solidity. We will cover fundamental data types, control structures, functions, and contract organization. You will understand the Ethereum Virtual Machine, how contracts send and receive Ether, and how to use events, modifiers, and visibility specifiers. The chapter also introduces reference types like arrays and mappings, common security practices, and techniques for optimizing gas usage. Solidity is a high-level, statically typed programming language designed for developing smart contracts that run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Solidity supports several primitive data types essential for blockchain devel opment. Currently, there is no native support for floating-point numbers or decimals, commonly referred to as floats in other programming languages.
