 If you use a different address in the constructor above, you will get an error when running the deployment. This is because you need to register an account in the sandbox before it can receive private notes. When you create a new account, it gets automatically registered. Alternatively, you can register an account you do not own along with its public key using the `register-recipient` command.

 The `call` command calls a read-only method on a contract, one that will not generate a transaction to be sent to the network. The arguments here are:
 
 - `--args` - The address for which we want to retrieve the balance.
-- `--contract-abi` - The abi of the contract we are calling.

 - `--contract-address` - The address of the deployed contract
 
 As you can see from the result, this address has a balance of 1000000, as expected. When using the Sandbox, you are able to query the balance of any account that has been created in the system, even the accounts created by default. You may wonder why this is, as you haven't provided the private keys for these accounts. The Sandbox contains a component known as the Private Execution Environment (PXE). When an account is created, this component stores the provided encryption private key and is able to read the account's private state meaning that the Sandbox can report the balance of any of it's accounts. More information about the account model can be found [here](../../concepts/foundation/accounts/main.md).

 An Aztec.nr contract can [call a function](./syntax/functions.md) in another contract via `context.call_private_function` or `context.call_public_function`. However, this requires manually assembling the function selector and manually serialising the arguments, which is not type-safe.
