Axiomatic semantics is: an approach based on mathematical logic for proving the: correctness of computer programs. It is closely related to Hoare logic.

Axiomatic semantics define the——meaning of a command in a program by describing its effect on assertions about the "program state." The assertions are logical statements—predicates with variables, "where the variables define the state of the program."
