Dijkstra introduces a function called wp for "weakest precondition". It requires become transparent, accountable, and responsible. Unknown November 13, 2011 at 10:29 AM. Language: English Released: 1976. Great programming is a discipline. Still, if the only problems were deterministic access violations, I could live with them (I'm a very disciplined programmer). I've done both and I think it is unfair. People often use this as an example to show that Dijkstra was excessively doctrinaire, and out of touch with the reality of programming, but usually it's because they don't know what his argument was. It's also a discipline which, like martial arts, changes fundamentally the way you see the universe, once you get far enough in and become advanced enough. IMHO, the closer you are to the money, the more you make. GO A discipline of programming. Van Wijngaarden, persuaded him that in the years to come he could be one of the people to make programming a respectable discipline. I wrote a response, explaining where Dijkstra was coming from, and I am very happy with how it . Many complex models attempt to deal with the deadlock problem—with backoff-and-retry protocols, for example—but they require strict discipline by programmers, and some introduce their own problems (e.g., livelock). Monads provide a type discipline for effectful programming, mapping value types to computation types. A discipline like Extreme Programming requires a radical upgrade in both technical and social skills, especially for programmers. They are reasonably easy to reproduce and can be debugged using standard methods (code coverage). For further details, see Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming". Use a list: Code: (setq maxvector '( (2761.11 1898.11 0.0) (3761.12 1538.43 0.0) (4761.15 2598.58 0.0) ) ).
