The major goal of this book is to present the techniques of
top-down program design and verification of program correctness
hand-in-hand. It thus aims to give readers a new way of looking at
algorithms and their design, synthesizing ten years of research in
the process. It provides many examples of program and proof
development with the aid of a formal and informal treatment of
Hoare's method of invariants. Modem widely accepted control
structures and data structures are explained in detail, together
with their formal definitions, as a basis for their use in the
design of correct algorithms. We provide and apply proof rules for
a wide range of program structures, including conditionals, loops,
procedures and recur sion. We analyze situations in which the
restricted use of gotos can be justified, providing a new approach
to proof rules for such situations. We study several important
techniques of data structuring, including arrays, files, records
and linked structures. The secondary goal of this book is to teach
the reader how to use the programming language Pascal. This is the
first text to teach Pascal pro gramming in a fashion which not only
includes advanced algorithms which operate on advanced data
structures, but also provides the full axiomatic definition of
Pascal due to Wirth and Hoare. Our approach to the language is very
different from that of a conventional programming text."
