Abstract / Kurzbeschreibung: |
Real (and, to some degree, also complex) numbers should be a part of the CASL standard library, since they occur in many applications and programming languages. In this note, we address the specification of real and complex numbers at two levels: at the mathematical level and at the computer representation level.
[RM99a][RM99b] can be seen as complementary notes, since they contain basic datatypes resp. describe annotations and syntax extensions we frequently use here. |
