It is, therefore, possible to extend a partially specified interpretation to a complete interpretation, without loss of verifiability... This fact offers the possibility of automatic verification of programs, the programmer merely tagging entrances and one edge in each innermost loop. — Robert W. Floyd Copy Share Image
My message to the serious programmer is this: spend a part of your working day examining and refining your own methods. Even though programmers… — Robert W. Floyd Copy Share Image
If there is ever a science of programming language design, it will probably consist largely of matching languages to the design methods they support. — Robert W. Floyd Copy Share Image
A semantic definition of a particular set of command types, then, is a rule for constructing, for any command of one of these types,… — Robert W. Floyd Copy Share Image
