Lecture Programming languages (2/e): Chapter 18b - Tucker, Noonan

Chapter 18b - Formal Methods Tools: JML. In this section, we introduce the features of JML as they apply to the formal specification and verification of an individual function, such as the Factorial function that we specified and verified by hand in the previous section. We also show how JML allows us to specify run-time exceptions, providing a more robust vehicle than the pure Hoare triples in a real computational setting where exceptions actually occur.
