Introduction The algorithm discussed in this paper, although independently discovered, was
previously invented by WHJ Feijen and has been described in Dijkstra's book A Disci- pline of
Programming [l]. Although in [1] this program is considered the neatest solution to the updating
problem, Dijkstra does not explain how such a neat solution was derived. There is a deeper …
