The line ``uint storedData;`` declares a state variable called ``storedData`` of type ``uint`` (*u*\nsigned *int*\eger of *256* bits). You can think of it as a single slot in a database that you can query and alter by calling functions of the -code that manages the database. In the case of Ethereum, this is always the owning -contract. In this case, the functions ``set`` and ``get`` can be used to modify +code that manages the database. In this example, the contract defines the functions ``set`` and ``get`` that can be used to modify or retrieve the value of the variable. To access a state variable, you do not need the prefix ``this.`` as is common in
