<i-nZ> so i state that " The average of two real numbers p and q is 1/2*(p+q)", after that I simplify the pasted code from the link and reach the "1/2*(x+y)" ... so this equals to the 1/2*(p+q) so it calcs the average.. so it is a proof ? :)
<sloshytiger> yes
<sloshytiger> QED and all that jazz
<i-nZ> QED ? =.=
<sloshytiger> QED = "quod errat demonstratum" or something like that
<sloshytiger> it's latin for "that which was to be proven" and is a slightly old fashioned way of signaling the end of a proof
<i-nZ> :)
<sloshytiger> "and all that jazz" is a lyric from the broadway musical chicago
<kercyr> in generality, you want to prove things about each line of the program. And then chain them somehow to produce the proof for the overall function.
