  1. Homework 2 (simple loops in TL) : Write and test the following function: % Return the number of occurrences of character c in string s . funccount_chars ( c : char, const ref s : string ) : int ... your code here … NOTE: Proper comments, including the loop invariant and the termination argument, are an essential part of a complete solution! HINT: Read and understand the second example in the lecture “Arrays and quantifiers”. Also: recall the counting quantifier N . EXAMPLE: The statement TRACE count_chars( ‘a’, “Able was I ere I saw Elba” ) should print out the value 3 . NOTE: 1. Please do it just by yourself, don’t show your solution to, or discuss it with others. 2. Run your program and check that it does what you expect. 3. Please hand in your submission on paper, not via e-mail.

  6. Let a be an array with N elements. We want to establish: R : sumsq = ( S i : 0 =< i < N : a[ i ] * a[ i ] ) Our invariant will be P( k ) : (sumsq = ( S i : 0 =< i < k : a[ i ] * a[ i ] ) and k =< N. sumsq, k := 0, 0 ;% P( k ) while k != N do % P( k ) and k != N sumsq := sumsq + a[ k ] * a[ k ] ; % P( k ) violated k := k + 1 % progress, P( k ) restored od % P( k ) and k = N, hence R State spaces

  8. Other useful quantifiers: sum, product, count. (S i : 0 =< i < N : a[ i ]) (P i : 0 =< i < N : a[ i ]) (N i : 0 =< i < N : a[ i ] = 0) The number of elements of a in the range [ 0, N ) whose value is 0. (Here, a[ i ] = 0 is just an example of a predicate and a[ i ] is just an example of an expression). NOTE: These are not predicates: their values are numerical. State spaces

  9. Let a be an array with N elements. We want to establish: R : sumsq = ( S i : 0 =< i < N : a[ i ] * a[ i ] ) Our invariant will be P( k ) : (sumsq = ( S i : 0 =< i < k : a[ i ] * a[ i ] ) and k =< N. sumsq, k := 0, 0 ;% P( k ) while k != N do % P( k ) and k != N sumsq := sumsq + a[ k ] * a[ k ] ; % P( k ) violated k := k + 1 % progress, P( k ) restored od % P( k ) and k = N, hence R We want to establish R : count = ( N i : 0 =< i < size( s ) : s[ i ] = c ) State spaces

State spaces

  13. We want to establish R : count = ( N i : 0 =< i < size( s ) : s[ i ] = c ) Our invariant will be P( k ) : count = ( N i : 0 =< i < k : s[ i ] = c ) and k =< size( s ) Note that P( k ) and k = size( s ) implies R and this is what makes it a good candidate for an invariant! State spaces

We want to make it as weak as possible, to increase the likelihood of nontermination in case we mess things up (e.g., forget proper initialisation). WHY? State spaces
