_Follow along with this video:_ --- ### Runtime Code With `contract creation` understood, we move onto the runtime section of our op codes. Remember, Solidity conveniently will break each of theses sections up by adding an `INVALID` op code between them. <details> <Summary> Op Codes </summary> bytecode - 0x6080604052348015600e575f80fd5b5060a58061001b5f395ff3fe6080604052348015600e575f80fd5b50600436106030575f3560e01c8063cdfead2e146034578063e026c017146045575b5f80fd5b6043603f3660046059565b5f55565b005b5f5460405190815260200160405180910390f35b5f602082840312156068575f80fd5b503591905056fea2646970667358fe1220fe01fe6c40d0ed98f16c7769ffde7109d5fe9f9dfefe31769a77032ceb92497a64736f6c63430008140033 ```js PUSH1 0x80 ✅ PUSH1 0x40 ✅ MSTORE ✅ CALLVALUE ✅ DUP1 ✅ ISZERO ✅ PUSH1 0x0e ✅ JUMPI ✅ PUSH0 ✅ DUP1 ✅ REVERT ✅ JUMPDEST ✅ POP ✅ PUSH1 0xa5 ✅ DUP1 ✅ PUSH2 0x001b ✅ PUSH0 ✅ CODECOPY ✅ PUSH0 ✅ RETURN ✅ INVALID ✅ PUSH1 0x80 //<---- We are here!

The next chunk we'll assess should look familiar to us! Let's break it down. ```js // Free Memory Pointer PUSH1 0x80 PUSH1 0x40 MSTORE //msg.value check CALLVALUE // [msg.value] DUP1 // [msg.value, msg.value] ISZERO // [msg.value == 0, msg.value] PUSH1 0x0e // [0x0e, msg.value == 0, msg.value] JUMPI // [msg.value] // Jump to "continue!" if msg.value == 0 PUSH0 // [0x00, msg.value] DUP1 // [0x00, 0x00, msg.value] REVERT // [] // If msg.value == 0, start here! // continue! JUMPDEST POP ``` What's happening above? The first three codes are Solidity's `free memory pointer` again! We'll get used to seeing this. From there we see another chunk we've seen before - the msg.value check. The Solidity compiler is smart enough to check all the functions within a contract and determine if any of them are payable. If none of a contract's functions are payable, any call data sent to the contract's runtime code will be checked for value and the transaction will revert if any is found! We'll continue from the `JUMPDEST` in the next lesson to see how a call is handled when `msg.value == 0`.
