Logical calculi | Formal methods | Formal specification languages
Predicative programming is the original name of a formal method for program specification and refinement, more recently called a Practical Theory of Programming, invented by Eric Hehner. The central idea is that each specification is a binary (boolean) expression that is true of acceptable computer behaviors and false of unacceptable behaviors. It follows that refinement is just implication. This is the simplest formal method, and the most general, applying to sequential, parallel, stand-alone, communicating, terminating, nonterminating, natural-time, real-time, deterministic, and probabilistic programs, and includes time and space bounds. Commands in a programming language are considered to be a special case of specification—those specifications that are compilable. For example, if the program variables are , , and , the command := +1 is equivalent to the specification (binary expression) =+1 ∧ = ∧ = in which , , and represent the values of the program variables before the assignment, and , , and represent the values of the program variables after the assignment. If the specification is >, we easily prove (:= +1) ⇒ (>), which says that := +1 implies, or refines, or implements >. Loop proofs are greatly simplified. For example, if is an integer variable, to prove that while >0 do := –1 od refines, or implements the specification ≥0 ⇒ =0, prove if >0 then := –1; (≥0 ⇒ =0) else fi ⇒ (≥0 ⇒ =0) where = (=) is the empty, or do-nothing command. There is no need for a loop invariant or least fixed point. Loops with multiple intermediate shallow and deep exits work the same way. This simplified form of proof is possible because program commands and specifications can be mixed together meaningfully. Execution time (upper bounds, lower bounds, exact time) can be proven the same way, just by introducing a time variable. To prove termination, prove the execution time is finite. To prove nontermination, prove the execution time is infinite. For example, if the time variable is , and time is measured by counting iterations, then to prove that execution of the previous while-loop takes time when is initially nonnegative, and takes forever when is initially negative, prove if >0 then := –1; := +1; (≥0 ⇒ =+) ∧ (<0 ⇒ =∞) else fi ⇒ (≥0 ⇒ =+) ∧ (<0 ⇒ =∞) where = (= ∧ =).

We talk about adjectives: attributive and predicative. Attributive adjectives appear before the nouns they modify. Predicative adjectives appear after a BE or LINKING verb. If you want to support the channel, hit the "JOIN" button above and pick a channel subscription that suits your need
