The getStorageSlotNumForLongString function is a utility method provided by the web3.utils module that helps you determine the slot number where a long string will be stored in a smart contract.
The function takes in a single parameter, mainSlotNumber, which is the slot number where the hash of the long string will be stored.
The function returns a value of type undefined | string, which means it can return either undefined or a string representing the slot number where the long string will be stored.
The purpose of this function is to help you determine the slot number where you should store a long string in a contract. When you call the getStorage method, it returns a slot number where the data will be stored. However, if the data is a long string, it may not fit in a single slot, and you'll need to use a different slot for each part of the string. This function helps you determine the slot number for each part of the string.
Here's an example of how you can use the getStorageSlotNumForLongString function:
In this example, the getStorageSlotNumForLongString function is called with the main slot number 0 and returns the slot number 1, which means that the long string will be stored in slot 1.
