Annotation Type Pure

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface Pure

A contract method marked as Pure may not read or write values on the blockchain. It may only perform computations based on the input arguments. Because of this Pure methods do not require a transaction and consume zero gas. A Pure method may not also be marked as Payable. Note that in the context of a Pure method the values in the msg variable are meaningless because this is no actual transaction being made.
