<p><a class='wikilink' href='Main.html'>The PRISM Language</a> /
</p><h1>Formulas And Labels</h1>
</div>
<!--PageText-->
<div id='wikitext'>
<p>PRISM models can include <em>formulas</em> which are used to avoid duplication of code.
A formula comprises a name (an identifier) and an <a class='wikilink' href='Expressions.html'>expression</a>.
The formula name can then be used as shorthand for the expression anywhere an expression might usually be accepted.
A formula is defined as follows:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div>
<div class='sourceblock ' id='sourceblock1'>
<div class='sourceblocktext'><div class="prism"> <span class="prismkeyword">formula</span> <span class="prismident">num_tokens</span> = <span class="prismident">q1</span>+<span class="prismident">q2</span>+<span class="prismident">q3</span>+<span class="prismident">q</span>+<span class="prismident">q5</span>; <br/>
</div></div>
<div class='sourceblocklink'><a href='http://www.prismmodelchecker.org/manual/ThePRISMLanguage/FormulasAndLabels?action=sourceblock&amp;num=1' type='text/plain'>[&#036;[Get Code]]</a></div>
</div>
<p class='vspace'>It can then be used anywhere within that file, as for example in this command:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div>
<div class='sourceblock ' id='sourceblock2'>
<div class='sourceblocktext'><div class="prism"> [] <span class="prismident">p1</span>=<span class="prismnum">2</span> &amp; <span class="prismident">num_tokens</span>=<span class="prismnum">5</span> -&gt; (<span class="prismident">p1</span>'=<span class="prismnum">4</span>); <br/>
</div></div>
<div class='sourceblocklink'><a href='http://www.prismmodelchecker.org/manual/ThePRISMLanguage/FormulasAndLabels?action=sourceblock&amp;num=2' type='text/plain'>[&#036;[Get Code]]</a></div>
</div>
<p class='vspace'>The effect is exactly as if the following had been typed:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div>
<div class='sourceblock ' id='sourceblock3'>
<div class='sourceblocktext'><div class="prism"> [] <span class="prismident">p1</span>=<span class="prismnum">2</span> &amp; (<span class="prismident">q1</span>+<span class="prismident">q2</span>+<span class="prismident">q3</span>+<span class="prismident">q</span>+<span class="prismident">q5</span>)=<span class="prismnum">5</span> -&gt; (<span class="prismident">p1</span>'=<span class="prismnum">4</span>); <br/>
</div></div>
<div class='sourceblocklink'><a href='http://www.prismmodelchecker.org/manual/ThePRISMLanguage/FormulasAndLabels?action=sourceblock&amp;num=3' type='text/plain'>[&#036;[Get Code]]</a></div>
</div>
<p class='vspace'>Formulas defined in a model can also be used when specifying its properties.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h3>Formulas and renaming</h3>
<p>During parsing of the model, expansion of formulas is done before module renaming so, if a module which uses formulas is renamed to another module, it is the contents of the formula which will be renamed, not the formula itself.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h3>Labels</h3>
<p>PRISM models can also contain <em>labels</em>. These are are a way of identifying sets of states that are of particular interest. Labels can only be used when specifying <a class='wikilink' href='../PropertySpecification/Main.html'>properties</a> but, for convenience, can be defined in model files as well as property files.
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Labels differ from formulas in two other ways: firstly, they must be of Boolean type;
secondly, they are written using quotation marks (<code>"..."</code>), as illustrated in the following example:
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div>
<div class='sourceblock ' id='sourceblock4'>
<div class='sourceblocktext'><div class="prism"><span class="prismkeyword">label</span> "<span class="prismident">safe</span>" = <span class="prismident">temp</span>&lt;=<span class="prismnum">100</span> | <span class="prismident">alarm</span>=<span class="prismkeyword">true</span>;<br/>
<span class="prismkeyword">label</span> "<span class="prismident">fail</span>" = <span class="prismident">temp</span>&gt;<span class="prismnum">100</span> &amp; <span class="prismident">alarm</span>=<span class="prismkeyword">false</span>;<br/>
</div></div>
<div class='sourceblocklink'><a href='http://www.prismmodelchecker.org/manual/ThePRISMLanguage/FormulasAndLabels?action=sourceblock&amp;num=4' type='text/plain'>[&#036;[Get Code]]</a></div>
