The fallback functions are a special type of function available only in Ethereum. Solidity helps in writing fallback functions. Imagine a situation where you, as a Solidity developer, are consuming a smart contract by invoking its functions. It is quite possible that you use a function name that does not exist within that contract. In such cases, the fallback function, as the name suggests, would automatically be invoked.
A fallback function is invoked when no function name matches the called function.
A fallback function does not have an identifier or function name. It is defined without a name. Since it cannot be called explicitly, it cannot accept any arguments or return any value. An example of a fallback function is as follows:
A fallback function can also be invoked when a contract receives any Ether. This usually happens using the SendTransaction function available in web3 to send Ether from one account to a contract. However, in this case, the fallback function...
