Detailed explanation-1: -Axiomatic language is based on the idea that the external behavior of a function or program – even an interactive program – can be specified by a static infinite set of symbolic expressions that enumerate all possible inputs – or sequences of inputs – along with the corresponding outputs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It can be applied to entire texts or to single words. For example, “destination” and “last stop” technically mean the same thing, but students of semantics analyze their subtle shades of meaning.
Detailed explanation-3: -Denotational Semantics – each phrase in the language is interpreted as a conceptual meaning that can be thought of abstractly. Axiomatic Semantics – meaning to phrases is given by describing the logical axioms that apply to them.
