# addressFromRecipient(Address|Alias): Address

Gets the corresponding address of the alias.

addressFromRecipient(AddressOrAlias: Address|Alias): Address

For a description of the return value, see the Address article.

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
AddressOrAlias: Address\|Alias
Address or alias, usually tx.recipient

# Examples

let address =Address(base58'3NADPfTVhGvVvvRZuqQjhSU4trVqYHwnqjF')
addressFromRecipient(address)

# assetBalance

Gets account balance by token ID.

The balance takes into account payments attached to the script invocation. Transfers (ScriptTransfer) made by the current callable function do not affect the balance (however, nested invocations do).

assetBalance(addressOrAlias: Address|Alias, assetId: ByteVector): Int

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
addressOrAlias: Address\|Alias	Address or alias of the account
assetId: ByteVector	Token ID

# assetInfo

Gets the information about a token.

assetInfo(id: ByteVector): Asset|Unit

For a description of the return value, see the Asset article.

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`id`: ByteVector	ID of the token

# Example

let bitcoinId = base58'8LQW8f7P5d5PZM7GtZEBgaqRPGSzS3DfPuiXrURJ4AJS'
let x = match assetInfo(bitcoinId) {
    case asset:Asset =>
        asset.decimals # 8
    case _ => throw("Can't find asset")
}

# blockInfoByHeight

Gets the information about a block by the block height.

blockInfoByHeight(height: Int): BlockInfo|Unit

For a description of the return value, see the BlockInfo article.

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`height`: Int	Block height

# Example

let x = match blockInfoByHeight(1234567) {
    case block:BlockInfo =>
        block.generator.toString() # "3P38Z9aMhGKAWnCiyMW4T3PcHcRaTAmTztH"
    case _ => throw("Can't find block")
}

# calculateAssetId

Calculates ID of the token formed by the Issue structure when executing the callable function.

calculateAssetId(issue: Issue): ByteVector

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`issue`: Issue	Structure that sets the parameters of the token issue

# Example

{-# STDLIB_VERSION 5 #-}
{-# CONTENT_TYPE DAPP #-}
{-# SCRIPT_TYPE ACCOUNT #-}
  
@Callable(inv)
func issueAndId() = {
  let issue = Issue("CryptoRouble", "Description", 1000, 2, true)
  let id = calculateAssetId(issue)
  (
    [
      issue,
      BinaryEntry("id", id)
    ],
    unit
  )
}

# calculateLeaseId

Calculates ID of the lease formed by the Lease structure when executing the callable function.

calculateLeaseId(lease: Lease): ByteVector

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`lease`: Lease	Structure that sets the lease parameters

# Example

{-# STDLIB_VERSION 5 #-}
{-# CONTENT_TYPE DAPP #-}
{-# SCRIPT_TYPE ACCOUNT #-}
  
@Callable(i)
func foo() = {
  let lease = Lease(Alias("merry"),100000000)
  let id = calculateLeaseId(lease)
  (
    [
      lease,
      BinaryEntry("lease", id)
    ],
    unit
  )
}

# scriptHash

Returns BLAKE2b-256 hash of the script assigned to a given account. Returns unit if there is no script.

The function can be used to verify that the script is exactly the same as expected.

scriptHash(addressOrAlias: Address|Alias): ByteVector|Unit

# Parameters

Parameter	Description
`addressOrAlias`: Address\|Alias	Address or alias of the account

# Example

let addr = Address(base58'3MxBZbnN8Z8sbYjjL5N3oG5C8nWq9NMeCEm')
