A summary is provided of the specification for mat used in this book. The format is adapted from that Guttag and Liskov [10] developed for the CLU language. It consists of relatively few constructs, is semi formal by providing a rigorous definition of the syntax and semantics of opera tions, and it provides powerful facilities for defining abstract data types. 1.1 Specification of Procedure Abstractions Specification of a procedure requires a full description of syntax and semantics. Syntax the name of the procedure by name, the name and type of each ar gument or result, and the order in which the arguments and results occur.
