Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT)

Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) is a method used in computer science to determine if there exists a way to assign values to variables so that a complex logical statement, which includes various mathematical theories like numbers, arrays, or data structures, is true. Instead of just checking simple logic, SMT examines real-world computational constraints, helping verify software correctness, optimize designs, or solve problems with multiple rules. Think of it as a powerful tool that tests whether a set of conditions can all be satisfied simultaneously within specific mathematical frameworks.
