   In 1967, Robert W. Floyd published the paper Assigning meanings to programs; his chief aim was "a rigorous standard for proofs about computer programs, including proofs of correctness, equivalence, and termination". [2] [3] Floyd further wrote: [2] A semantic definition of a programming language, in our approach, is founded on a syntactic ...
