\section{Program Correctness: Template}
Given an array $b$ of type $\mathbf{integer}\to\mathbf{boolean}$
and a non-negative length $n$. The following program computes the
numerical representation of a bitvector.
\begin{quote}
$i\ASSIGN 0;$\\
$x\ASSIGN 0;$\\
$\WHILE i<n \DO$\\
\tab$x\ASSIGN 2\cdot x;$\\
\tab$\IF b[i] \THEN$\\
\tab\tab$x\ASSIGN x+1$\\
\tab$\FI;$\\
\tab$i\ASSIGN i+1$\\
$\OD$
\end{quote}
Let $S$ be above program. Prove the following partial correctness formula:
$$
\CORRECT{n\geq0}{S}{x=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}2^{n-1-i}\cdot\itep{b[i]}{1}{0}}
$$
Here is a proof outline in proof system PW:
\begin{quote}
$\ASSERT{n\geq0}$\\
$i\ASSIGN 0;$\\
$x\ASSIGN 0;$\\
$\INVARIANT{i\leq n\land x=\sum_{j=0}^{i-1}2^{i-1-j}\cdot\itep{b[j]}{1}{0}}$\\
$\WHILE i<n \DO$\\
\tab$\ASSERT{i<n\land x=\sum_{j=0}^{i-1}2^{i-1-j}\cdot\itep{b[j]}{1}{0}}$\\
\tab$\ASSERT{i<n\land2\cdot x=2\cdot\sum_{j=0}^{i-1}2^{i-1-j}\cdot\itep{b[j]}{1}{0}}$\\
\tab$\ASSERT{i<n\land2\cdot x=\sum_{j=0}^{i-1}2^{i-j}\cdot\itep{b[j]}{1}{0}}$\\
\tab$x\ASSIGN 2\cdot x;$\\
\tab$\ASSERT{i<n\land x=\sum_{j=0}^{i-1}2^{i-j}\cdot\itep{b[j]}{1}{0}}$\\
\tab$\IF b[i] \THEN$\\
\tab\tab$\ASSERT{i<n\land x=\sum_{j=0}^{i-1}2^{i-j}\cdot\itep{b[j]}{1}{0}\land b[i]}$\\
