• (Q) after calling selfdestruct(), the contract which the function is in it, must not be available but in the past tests it is available. how can we implement this to delete the contract and send ethers force ?

• Run :

  • # Put your data in .env.example File
    # Then rename it to .env
    bash test_3.sh

• Result :
