SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160

Why use this example

Use this pattern when you need to check the exact bytes, selector, hash, or decoded values that Solidity will produce. The entry isolates sha-256 and ripemd-160 so its input, result, and state changes stay easy to compare.

Solidity to run

bytes memory input = bytes("hello")
sha256(input)
ripemd160(input)

Official Solidity reference

Compare this focused investigation with the complete language definition in the Solidity documentation.

What to expect

The same input bytes produce visible bytes32 SHA-256 and bytes20 RIPEMD-160 digests.

Continue the investigation

Change a value, add another expression, or open Inspect after the run. Accepted entries remain available to the next entry, and the clean replay keeps the complete result reproducible.
