ADT(abstract data types)抽象数据类型

1、What is it?

An abstract data type is a set of objects together with a set of operations.

抽象数据类型是带有一组操作的一组对象的集合。

ADTS=objects+operations

2、How to define?

ADT Name
  Describe of data;
  Operations;
End ADT

Operations description:

Name(parameter list)
  Input:     data used to input
  Output:   data used to output
  Pre-condition:  if the condiont my not be satisfied, the operation may not be correct

 Post-condition:  The status after the operation be executed

3、Example

ADT Bigint
    Data
        n: 0..2^54-1
    Operations:

         addone
            Pre-condition:     n+1<2^54;
            Post-condition:    n=n+1;

         subone
             Pre-condition:    n>0;
             Post-condition:   n=n-1;

         mult(x,y)
             Input:   (x:Bigint);
             Output: (y:Bigint);
             Pre-condition:  n*x.n<2^54;
             Post-condition: y.n=n*x.n;
End ADT
