6a (was 5c). Lecture 18, Programming by contract. My notes for Lecture 18 are largely taken from 20-year-old articles by Bertrand Meyer. The principles are timeless, but there are undoubtedly new embellishments that would provide better background to the topics discussed in the lecture. Write a narrative, generally following the lecture organization, that explains programming by contract in more detail.
