You actually don't need to import the `range_check_ptr` but actually the `range_check` built-in (check this [link](https://www.cairo-lang.org/docs/how_cairo_works/builtins.html#the-builtins-directive)). Change your code to 
```
%builtins range_check
from starkware.cairo.common.math import abs_value

func main{range_check_ptr}() {
    let x = abs_value(-1);
    return ();
}
```

and it should compile and run.

# Hello world!

I try to implement the function `abs_value` of the package `starkware.cairo.common.math` but i have this error

```
AssertionError: Expected main to contain the following arguments (in this order): ['range_check_ptr_ptr']. Found: ['range_check_ptr'].
```

I dont understand the error. 

Can someone explain the error to me, why it happens ?

from starkware.cairo.common.math import abs_value

func main{range_check_ptr}() {
    let x = abs_value(-1);

How do I connect my DAPP to Starknet-devnet using starknetjs?

What are steps to create a new contract using starknetjs?

Hello guys, does one know how to modify keccak.cairo and/or packed_keccak.cairo to compute a 512bits keccak hash instead of 256 bits?

I'm following a paper that needs 256 bits collision resistance so i need 512 bit keccak. 

There should only a few parameters to change but its quite hard to find them in the Cairo code

How to modify keccak.cairo and/or packed_keccak.cairo to compute a 512bits keccak hash instead of 256 bits?


Hello! This is day 13 of the 17 days of the Cairo Challenge. And I have no idea how to solve the [playground](https://www.cairo-lang.org/playground/) exercise “Pedersen Hash”.  Perhaps you can help me?

```
// The following code implements a Pedersen hash chain.
// Given the [Pedersen hash](https://docs.starkware.co/starkex-docs/crypto/pedersen-hash-function) function `H`, which
// takes two field elements and returns one representing their hash,
// a hash chain on inputs x_0, x_1, ..., x_n is the result of
// H(H(...H(H(x_0, x_1), x_2), ...,x_{n-1}), x_n)
// For example, the hash chain of (1, 2, 3, 4) is H(H(H(1, 2), 3), 4).
//
// Fix the function `hash_chain` to correctly implement the
// hash chain. Run your code to test it.
//
// Note: Don't use starkware.cairo.common.hash_chain (it computes the chain differently).

// Use the Pedersen builtin.
%builtins pedersen

from starkware.cairo.common.alloc import alloc
from starkware.cairo.common.cairo_builtins import HashBuiltin
from starkware.cairo.common.hash import hash2

// Computes the Pedersen hash chain on an array of size `length` starting from `data_ptr`.
func hash_chain{hash_ptr: HashBuiltin*}(data_ptr: felt*, length: felt) -> (result: felt) {
    if (length == 2) {
        let (result) = hash2(x=[data_ptr], y=[data_ptr + 1]);
        return (result=result);
    } else {
        // Fix here:
        return (result=123456);
    }
}

func main{pedersen_ptr: HashBuiltin*}() {
    alloc_locals;
    // Allocate a new array.
    let (local data_ptr: felt*) = alloc();
    // Fill the new array with field elements.
    assert [data_ptr] = 314;
    assert [data_ptr + 1] = 159;
    // Run the hash chain.
    let (result) = hash_chain{hash_ptr=pedersen_ptr}(data_ptr=data_ptr, length=2);
    // Check the result.
    assert result = 307958720726328212653290369969069617958360335228383070119367204176047090109;

    // Fill two more cells in the array.
    assert [data_ptr + 2] = 265;
    assert [data_ptr + 3] = 358;
    // Compute the hash chain on all four cells.
    let (result) = hash_chain{hash_ptr=pedersen_ptr}(data_ptr=data_ptr, length=4);
    assert result = 1828757374677754028678056220799392919487521050857166686061558043629802016816;
    return ();
}
