A formal specification of a complex programming language statement is presented. The subject matter was selected as being typical of the kind confronting a small software house. It is shown that formal specification notations may be applied, with benefit, to ‘messy’ problems. Emphasis is placed upon producing a specification which is readable by, and useful to a reader not familiar with formal notations.
