Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3, Problem 27RQ
Explanation of Solution
Axiomatic semantics to prove the correctness of a given program:
A given assignment condition with both pre and post condition can be considered a logical statement. On applying an assignment axiom to the postcondition and the assignment statement, produces the given precondition, and complete theorem is produced.
Example:
