.. note::
Solidity supports all the types presented above with the same names with the exception of tuples. The ABI tuple type is utilised for encoding Solidity ``structs``.
Mapping Solidity to ABI types
-----------------------------
The following table shows on the left column Solidity types that are not part of the ABI,
and on the right column the ABI type that they map to.
+-------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Solidity | ABI |
+===============================+=============================================================================+
|:ref:`address payable<address>`|``address`` |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|:ref:`contract<contracts>` |``address`` |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|:ref:`enum<enums>` |smallest ``uint`` type that is large enough to hold all values |
| | |
| |For example, an ``enum`` of 255 values or less is mapped to ``uint8`` and |
| |an ``enum`` of 256 values is mapped to ``uint16``. |
