At the #CORE instruction set of the #virtual machine, #opcodes are instructions used to execute specific tasks. Altogether, there are 140 opcodes which together make the #EVM turing complete.
It is able to compute almost anything provided enough resources are available. Since each opcode is one byte in size, there can only be a maximum of 256 opcodes. All of these opcodes can be split into the following categories:
▫️Stack-manipulating opcodes
▫️Arithmetic/comparison/bitwise opcodes
▫️Environmental opcodes
▫️Memory-manipulating opcodes
▫️Storage-manipulating opcodes
▫️Program counter related opcodes
▫️Halting opcodes
To store these opcodes efficiently, the virtual machine makes use of bytecodes to encode the #opcodes.
