Abstract

In this article, we show how the notion of relational flow diagram(essentially a matrix whose entries are re lations on the set of states of the program), introduced by Schmidt, can be used to give a single demonic def inition for a wide range of programming constructs. This is achieved by using monotype/residual style.
