Note: when proving our verification condition, instead of proving that semantics of relation implies error=false, it's same as proving that the formula for set sp(U,r) implies error=false, where U is the universal relation, or, in terms of formulas, computing the strongest postcondition of formula 'true'. | Note: when proving our verification condition, instead of proving that semantics of relation implies error=false, it's same as proving that the formula for set sp(U,r) implies error=false, where U is the universal relation, or, in terms of formulas, computing the strongest postcondition of formula 'true'. | ||

While symbolic execution computes formula by going forward along the program syntax tree, [[sav07_lecture_2#weakest_preconditions|weakest precondition]] computes formula by going backward. | While symbolic execution computes formula by going forward along the program syntax tree, [[sav07_lecture_2#weakest_preconditions|weakest precondition]] computes formula by going backward. | ||
