Eeltingimust
Eeltingimust denotes a condition that must be true before an action or operation can proceed. It is a precondition that specifies the assumptions about inputs, state, or environment required for correct execution.
In software engineering, eeltingimust is part of contract-based design. It defines what a caller must ensure
Common examples include a function divide(a, b) with the eeltingimus b != 0; a method access(index) requiring
Eeltingimust relates to other concepts such as postconditions and loop invariants. Design by Contract uses explicit
Enforcement and testing involve checking the preconditions at the start of a function, potentially throwing an
In practice, preconditions help clarify requirements, improve reliability and reusability of components, and assist static analysis.
