In Dynamic Logic, what is the purpose of the diamond operator <>?

  1. It denotes the possibility of a program execution.

  2. It denotes the necessity of a program execution.

  3. It denotes the weakest precondition of a program.

  4. It denotes the strongest postcondition of a program.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The diamond operator <> in Dynamic Logic represents the possibility of a program execution. It is used to express statements that are true in at least one possible execution of the program.

What is the dual operator of the diamond operator <> in Dynamic Logic?

  1. The box operator []

  2. The weakest precondition operator wp

  3. The strongest postcondition operator sp

  4. The diamond operator <>


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The dual operator of the diamond operator <> in Dynamic Logic is the box operator []. The box operator represents the necessity of a program execution, meaning that it is true in all possible executions of the program.

What is the weakest precondition operator wp in Dynamic Logic?

  1. It denotes the weakest condition that must hold before executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.

  2. It denotes the strongest condition that must hold before executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.

  3. It denotes the weakest condition that must hold after executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.

  4. It denotes the strongest condition that must hold after executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The weakest precondition operator wp in Dynamic Logic denotes the weakest condition that must hold before executing a program to ensure that a desired postcondition will hold after the program execution.

What is the strongest postcondition operator sp in Dynamic Logic?

  1. It denotes the weakest condition that must hold before executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.

  2. It denotes the strongest condition that must hold before executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.

  3. It denotes the weakest condition that must hold after executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.

  4. It denotes the strongest condition that must hold after executing a program to ensure a desired postcondition.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The strongest postcondition operator sp in Dynamic Logic denotes the strongest condition that must hold after executing a program to ensure that a desired postcondition will hold.

Which of the following is a valid Dynamic Logic formula?

  1. <> p

  2. [] p

  3. wp(p, q)

  4. sp(p, q)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

<> p is a valid Dynamic Logic formula. It represents the possibility of a program execution that leads to the state where p holds.

Which of the following is a valid Dynamic Logic formula?

  1. [] p

  2. <> p

  3. wp(p, q)

  4. sp(p, q)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

[] p is a valid Dynamic Logic formula. It represents the necessity of a program execution that leads to the state where p holds.

Which of the following is a valid Dynamic Logic formula?

  1. <> p

  2. [] p

  3. wp(p, q)

  4. sp(p, q)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

wp(p, q) is a valid Dynamic Logic formula. It represents the weakest precondition for a program that ensures that q will hold after its execution, assuming that p holds before the execution.

Which of the following is a valid Dynamic Logic formula?

  1. <> p

  2. [] p

  3. wp(p, q)

  4. sp(p, q)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

sp(p, q) is a valid Dynamic Logic formula. It represents the strongest postcondition for a program that ensures that q will hold after its execution, assuming that p holds before the execution.

In Dynamic Logic, what is the meaning of the formula [a] p?

  1. It means that p holds after all executions of program a.

  2. It means that p holds before all executions of program a.

  3. It means that p holds in some execution of program a.
