Table of Contents for How pragma works in Solidity
At the top of Solidity files you have to define what version of the compiler your Solidity file is written for.
Allow only a specific version of the Solidity compiler:
pragma solidity 0.8.4;Allow a range of Solidity compiler versions
You can use less than/greater than signs to denote a range of versions that your code is valid for.
pragma solidity >=0.8.4 < 0.9.0 ;Allow a minimum version of the Solidity compiler
Use the caret (^) to define a minimum version.
pragma solidity ^0.8.4; Spotted a typo or have a suggestion to make this crypto dev article better? Please let me know!
