In Perl, how are associative arrays defined?
- Using the symbol '@' followed by a name and values enclosed in square brackets
- Using the keyword 'associative' followed by a name and values enclosed in angle brackets
- Using the keyword 'array' followed by a name and values enclosed in curly braces (correct)

What is the relationship between the loop invariant and the loop postcondition?
What is the relationship between the loop invariant and the loop postcondition?
- The loop invariant and the loop postcondition are always identical.
- The loop invariant is a weakened version of the loop postcondition. (correct)
- The loop invariant and the loop postcondition are independent of each other.
- The loop invariant is a strengthened version of the loop postcondition.
What is the purpose of the weakest precondition in program verification?
What is the purpose of the weakest precondition in program verification?
- To simplify the program code by eliminating unnecessary statements.
- To identify the initial state that guarantees the postcondition will be true. (correct)
- To prove that the program is free from syntax errors.
- To ensure that the program terminates.
