Description

This volume is an up-to-date, introductory level text on programming logic. It covers consistent and complementary definitions of programming languages, with emphasis on verification and axiomatic, operational, translational, and denotational semantics. The hands-on approach provides strong coverage of programming language constructs (each chapter introduces a new minilanguage). The book describes the use of free logic in handling errors and establishes connection with classical mathematics (to demonstrate soundness of proofs). There are many exercises.

Table of Contents

  • Mathematical preliminaries
  • the partial correctness of while programs
  • the total correctness of flowchart programs
  • the total correctness of flowchart programs with arrays and input and output
  • the translation of While programs with arrays, input and output and a stack of flowchart programs
  • the total correctness of While programs with procedures and functions
  • the translation of tail recursive procedures into While programs.
