I found several posts for this same kind of question. I am very new to Solidity. I have following code which I picked up from the ethereum website for creating a crowd sale. Earlier I created token but some how it used up all of my ethereum. (I don't know why?) and then later I came to know about Remix IDE. So I pasted following code and I found that the there are 4 warnings in the code which are similar to the head line.

Below is my code:

pragma solidity ^0.4.16;

interface tokenRecipient { function receiveApproval(address _from, uint256 _value, address _token, bytes _extraData) public; }

contract DemoCoin {
    // Public variables of the token
    string public name;
    string public symbol;
    uint8 public decimals = 18;
    // 18 decimals is the strongly suggested default, avoid changing it
    uint256 public totalSupply;

    // This creates an array with all balances
    mapping (address => uint256) public balanceOf;
    mapping (address => mapping (address => uint256)) public allowance;

    // This generates a public event on the blockchain that will notify clients
    event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value);

    // This notifies clients about the amount burnt
    event Burn(address indexed from, uint256 value);

    /**
     * Constructor function
     *
     * Initializes contract with initial supply tokens to the creator of the contract
     */
    function DemoCoin(
        uint256 initialSupply,
        string tokenName,
        string tokenSymbol,
        uint8 tokenDecimal
    ) public {
        totalSupply = initialSupply * 10;  // Update total supply with the decimal amount
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = totalSupply;                // Give the creator all initial tokens
        name = tokenName;                                   // Set the name for display purposes
        symbol = tokenSymbol;                               // Set the symbol for display purposes
        decimals=tokenDecimal;
    }

    /**
     * Internal transfer, only can be called by this contract
     */
    function _transfer(address _from, address _to, uint _value) internal {
        // Prevent transfer to 0x0 address. Use burn() instead
        require(_to != 0x0);
        // Check if the sender has enough
        require(balanceOf[_from] >= _value);
        // Check for overflows
        require(balanceOf[_to] + _value > balanceOf[_to]);

        uint previousBalances = balanceOf[_from] + balanceOf[_to];
        // Subtract from the sender
        balanceOf[_from] -= _value;
        // Add the same to the recipient
        balanceOf[_to] += _value;
        Transfer(_from, _to, _value);
        // Asserts are used to use static analysis to find bugs in your code. They should never fail
        assert(balanceOf[_from] + balanceOf[_to] == previousBalances);

How can I solve following errors/warnings ?

Warnings

Thank you.

These can all be safely dismissed.

The first three warn that if the string is of sufficient length the transaction will be unable to run at all. string is dynamic length, so it's not possible to estimate gas for you.

The last warning is a general warning about the correct use of assert. It appears that the contract is using it correctly.

You can silence these warnings by unchecking certain checks on the Analysis tab. It's always a good idea to understand the reason for the warning before ignoring, but you will find the errors tend to come up with false positives.

Hope it helps.

    Thanks @Rob for this. The reason for this question was actually this previous question. ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/40405/… with the same code I created a demo I had 8500 test ether and all of them got spent in just 1 transaction. actually I was transferring 100 ethers only.

They are just warnings, it doesn't compromise your code and their function, always some gas warning appears in every code, yours compile well on truffle
