Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

Blockchain.prototype.createNewBlock = function () { 

}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

Blockchain.prototype.createNewBlock = function (nonce, previousBlockHash, hash) { 

}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

cd dev
touch blockchain.js  test.js

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Go to More Tools, and then select the Developer Tools option."
