How to get the current state of a smart contract

Question

I am writing a Smart Contract using Solidity. I am using two contract methods as getResult - to get state of contract - and setNumber(uint num)- to update current value of state.But every time I call getResult method after setNumber(10) it returns original value, not the updated one.

Answer 1

Hey, you gotta provide the contract code, and also supply the client side (JavaScript, I guess?) code used to set and get the values.

Anyway, as much as I can understand from your question, your problem could be that you are calling setNumber(10) on your smart contract i.e. myContract.setNumber.call(10). Doing this wont actually update the state of the contract as .call() simply looks up the current state of the chain rather than altering it.
