Improving Robustness via Disjunctive Statements in Imperative Programming
To deal with failures as simply as possible, we propose a new foundation for the core (untyped) C, which is based on a new logic called task logic or imperative logic. We then introduce a sequential-disjunctive statement of the form S : R. This statement has the following semantics: execute S and R sequentially. It is considered a success if at least one of S,R is a success. This statement is u...
متن کاملContinuous If-Then Statements Are Computable
In many practical situations, we must compute the value of an if-then expression f(x) defined as “if c(x) ≥ 0 then f+(x) else f−(x)”, where f+(x), f−(x), and c(x) are computable functions. The value f(x) cannot be computed directly, since in general, it is not possible to check whether a given real number c(x) is non-negative or non-positive. Similarly, it is not possible to compute the value f...
متن کاملVictim Impact Statements in South Australia
Impact Statements (VIS). The new law which took effect in January 1989 requires that VIS material be put before the court by prosecutors so as to inform the judge of any physical or mental harm, any loss or damage to property suffered by a victim as a result of a crime. This article presents the results of evaluation studies of VIS in South Australia and their implications for the role of victi...
متن کاملBounded-Choice Statements for User Interaction in Imperative and Object-Oriented Programming
Adding versatile interactions to imperative programming – C, Java and Android – is an essential task. Unfortunately, existing languages provide only limited constructs for user interaction. These constructs are usually in the form of unbounded quantification. For example, existing languages can take the keyboard input from the user only via the read(x)/scan(x) statement. Note that the value of ...
متن کاملWhy the impact? Negative affective change as a mediator of the effects of victim impact statements.
Victim impact statements (VISs) represent a contentious legal and psychological point of debate. Current knowledge concerning the influence of VISs on jurors' emotional states and views of offenders is unclear. Using a sexual assault case, the present study attempted to disentangle these points of debate in the body of existing literature by (a) examining the direct influences of the presence o...
