Abstract
A simple language containing goto statements is presented, together with a denotational and operational semantic for it. Equivalence of these semantical descriptions is proven. Furthermore, soundness and completeness of a Hoare-like proof system for the language is shown. This is done in two steps. Firstly, a proof system is given and validity is defined using (a variant of) direct semantics. In this case soundness and completeness proofs are relatively easy. After that, a proof system is given which is more in the style of the one by Clint and Hoare [8], and validity in this system is defined using continuation semantics. This validity definition is then related to validity in the first system and, using this correspondence, soundness and completeness for the second system is proven.
