Hoare Logic

Hoare Logic is a formal system used to reason about computer programs' correctness. It uses mathematical statements called "Hoare triples," which have the form {Precondition} Program {Postcondition}. This means if the precondition (a condition before running the program) is true, then after execution, the postcondition (a condition after the program runs) will also be true. Hoare Logic helps verify that programs behave as intended, ensuring safety and reliability by providing rigorous proofs of correctness for specific parts of code.
