address addr1 = 0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8;
bytes memory addr2 = "0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8";
require(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(addr1)) == keccak256(addr2), 'not equal');
I would think that the above require statement evaluates to true, but it evaluates to false. Any reasoning as to why would be very helpful, thank you!
The result of abi.encodePacked(addr1) is a 20 bytes array.
On the other hand addr2 is a 42 bytes array.
