A Counter smart contract is a basic contract that counts up and down, serving as a practice tool for beginners in Solidity.
The Counter contract consists of state variables, function creation, function visibility, and logic for incrementing and decrementing.
The contract code sets an initial count to 0, allows incrementing the count by 1 with a public function, and restricts decrementing below 0.
By deploying the Counter contract on Remix IDE, one can interact with functions to increase or decrease the count, getting hands-on experience with Solidity.
