Specification vs. Description

Specification vs. Description

• Specification: Saying what I want; presents behavior in terms of results.
  e.g. "A { A[i,j] ¬ 0}
• Description: Saying how to do it; describes behavior in terms of procedure or process.
  e.g. for(i=0; i
  • We do not have specification languages for general-purpose digital design. For some special-purpose applications (e.g. DSP) we do.
