* @dev Implementation of the `IERC20` interface.

*
* *For a detailed writeup see our guide [How to implement supply

*
* We have followed general OpenZeppelin guidelines: functions revert instead
* of returning `false` on failure. This behavior is nonetheless conventional
* and does not conflict with the expectations of ERC20 applications.
*
* Additionally, an `Approval` event is emitted on calls to `transferFrom`.
* This allows applications to reconstruct the allowance for all accounts just
* by listening to said events. Other implementations of the EIP may not emit
* these events, as it isn't required by the specification.
*
* Finally, the non-standard `decreaseAllowance` and `increaseAllowance`
* functions have been added to mitigate the well-known issues around setting
* allowances. See `IERC20.approve`.

MyERC20.sol consists of one interface IERC20, one library SafeMath and one contract MyERC20 which implements IERC20 interface.
SafeMath library defines wrappers over Solidity's arithmetic operations with added overflow checks for safe calculation of uint256 type of Solidity.
MyERC20 implements IERC20 interfaces and also defines three optional methods described at ERC-20 specification.
In addition to ERC20, constructor is defined and this constructor is used to define a new ERC20 token name and symbol, and to mint a predefined amount of token. constructor is called once on its first deploy.
1.2 Take a look at important methods
Let's take a look at some important methods in detail.
(1) function balanceOf(address account) external view returns (uint256);
balanceOf is a mandatory method of ERC-20. balanceOf returns the balance of the given address.
function balanceOf(address account) public view returns (uint256) {
return _balances[account];
}
balanceOf just returns of value of key account stored in _balances which is mapping (address => uint256) type as below.
mapping (address => uint256) private _balances;
If there is no key account available in _balances, then it just returns 0.
(2) function transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
transfer is a mandatory method of ERC-20. transfer transfers amount of tokens to recipient, and MUST fire the Transfer event. The function SHOULD throw if the message caller’s account balance does not have enough tokens to spend.
transfer just invokes internal method _transfer which implements actual transfer and event as below.
function transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount) public returns (bool) {
_transfer(msg.sender, recipient, amount);
return true;
}
_transfer implements actual behavior of transfer method of ERC-20.
In addition, it prevents sending token from or to zero address using require as below.
function _transfer(address sender, address recipient, uint256 amount) internal {
require(sender != address(0), "ERC20: transfer from the zero address");
require(recipient != address(0), "ERC20: transfer to the zero address");
_balances[sender] = _balances[sender].sub(amount);
_balances[recipient] = _balances[recipient].add(amount);
emit Transfer(sender, recipient, amount);
}
(3) function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
approve is a mandatory method of ERC-20. approve allows spender to withdraw from your account multiple times, up to the amount. If this function is called multiple times, it simply resets the allowance to amount.
approve just invokes internal method _approve which implements actual behavior of approve. msg.sender is passed as the account owner.
function approve(address spender, uint256 value) public returns (bool) {
_approve(msg.sender, spender, value);
return true;
}
function _approve(address owner, address spender, uint256 value) internal {
require(owner != address(0), "ERC20: approve from the zero address");
require(spender != address(0), "ERC20: approve to the zero address");
_allowances[owner][spender] = value;
emit Approval(owner, spender, value);
}
_approve updates _allowances which is a 2-dimensional dictionary maintaining allowed value for spender from specific address.
(4) function _mint(address account, uint256 amount) internal
_mint is not part of ERC-20. However we need a way to create new ERC-20 tokens and introduced _mint to create new tokens in this implementation as below.
function _mint(address account, uint256 amount) internal {
require(account != address(0), "ERC20: mint to the zero address");
_totalSupply = _totalSupply.add(amount);
_balances[account] = _balances[account].add(amount);
emit Transfer(address(0), account, amount);
}
_mint is an internal method and can be invoked inside of this contract.
In MyERC20.sol, _mint is invoked only once from constructor when deploying the smart contract to mint a predefined amount of token.
If you want to issue additional tokens after deploying the smart contract, you have to introduce a new public method such as mint. The method should be implemented with CAUTION because only authorized users should be able to mint tokens.
Please take a look at OpenZeppelin example ERC20Mintable.sol for more detail.
