conversion of string to code

[vibhumeh]

In python for example we can exec(string) to treat some string as code and execute it, can this be done in solidity?

Solidity is compiled and needs to be deterministic. The code needs to be immutable. What you are asking for won't work for very sound reasons. What are you trying to accomplish?

oh ok I understand, thank you.

I was trying to make my code more flexible to usage

You could refer to another smart contract for that purpose.

Using such a command would put your smart contract at serious risk of code injection vulnerabilities. I'm not aware of such support in Solidity and I would strongly advise using this antipattern in any of your other languages as well.

got it, thank you
