How to Implement the Solution

While the format of Solidity looks a bit different from the more popular programming languages today, what's happening behind is fairly straightforward.

First we import the version of Solidity we'd like to use. Then we create a function and specify we'd only like to return a string. And, voila!

How to Run the Solution

If you want to run the solution, remix provides an IDE you can visit to write and execute the smart contract. Every piece of code written in Solidity, or any blockchain programming language, is considered a smart contract.
