Re: [tlaplus] Specifying all states on SimpleProgram from the TLA Course



I will attempt to answer this one but welcome more knowledgeable folks to chime in.

It looks like you are asking why the range of i is not defined. 

Was the range of i defined before this statement? If yes then, the range definition will cary over when you invoke i.

On the DieHard problem he makes a statement on why is it important to specify a state completely:

Here, he insists on adding /\ big' = big.

Now, on the SimpleProgram exercise (the first one), Add is defined like this:

Add == /\ pc = "middle"

              /\ pc' = "done"

              /\ i' = i + 1


My question is, if we need to specify the whole state space, shouldn't Add need to be defined this way instead?

Add == /\ pc = "middle"

              /\ pc' = "done"

              /\ i' = i + 1

              /\ i \in 0..1000
