Truffle compile SyntaxError No visibility specified Did you intend to add public

0 votes

When I run truffle compile I am getting this error:

/home/user/truffle/contracts/Hello-world.sol:1:1: SyntaxError: Source file requires different compiler version (current compiler is 0.5.0+commit.1d4f565a.Emscripten.clang - note that nightly builds are considered to be strictly less than the released version

pragma solidity ^0.4.15;

^----------------------^

,/home/user/truffle/contracts/Hello-world.sol:7:4: SyntaxError: No visibility specified. Did you intend to add "public"?

   function Hello_world() {

   ^ (Relevant source part starts here and spans across multiple lines).

Compilation failed. See above.

I added public keyword and tried again:

pragma solidity ^0.4.15;


contract Hello {


   string public message;


   public function Hello_world() {


   message = "Hello World!";


   }

}

No use

sudo truffle compile

Error parsing /home/user/truffle/contracts/Hello-world.sol: ParsedContract.sol:7:4: ParserError: Function, variable, struct or modifier declaration expected.

   public function Hello_world() {

   ^----^

Compilation failed. See above.

The solution you thought is right. The solution is to define it as public. But the way you did it is wrong. The right way to define is like this:

public function Hello_world() public {

//function body

}

You can try another method :

contract HelloWorld{

      function sayHello() public returns(string memory){

        return("Hello world");

      }

}

Hi. Can you explain how returning string memory will specify the visibility?
