• Reduce redundant calculations or operations within your smart contract. Precompute values where possible and reuse them.
• Example: Store the result of a complex computation in a variable rather than recalculating it multiple times.

Several tools can help you analyze and optimize gas consumption in your smart contracts:

Steps to Compile and Deploy:

• Run truffle init in your terminal to create a new Truffle project.
• Place your smart contract code in the contracts/ directory.

Explanation:

• pragma solidity ^0.8.0;: Specifies the version of Solidity.
• contract SimpleStorage: Defines a new smart contract named SimpleStorage.
• uint256 public storedData: Declares a public variable to store an unsigned integer.
• function set(uint256 x) public: A function to set the value of storedData.
• function get() public view returns (uint256): A function to retrieve the value of storedData.
