Question: / / Define the Colour enum datatype Colour = Red | White | Blue / / Method: FlagSort method FlagSort ( flag: array ) returns

// Define the Colour enum
datatype Colour = Red | White | Blue
// Method: FlagSort
method FlagSort(flag: array) returns (white: int, blue: int)
modifies flag
ensures 0= white = blue = flag.Length
ensures
i :: 0= i white ==> flag[i]== Red
ensures forall i :: white = i blue ==> flag[i]== White
ensures forall i :: blue = i flag.Length ==> flag[i]== Blue
{
var r :=0; // End of red section
var w :=0; // End of white section
var b := flag.Length; // Start of blue section
var i :=0;
// Initialize invariants
while i b
invariant 0= r = w = i = b = flag.Length
invariant forall j :: 0= j r ==> flag[j]== Red
invariant forall j :: r = j w ==> flag[j]== White
invariant forall j :: b = j flag.Length ==> flag[j]== Blue
invariant forall j :: w = j b ==> flag[j]!= Red && flag[j]!= White
{
if flag[i]== Red {
// Swap current element with end of Red section
flag[i], flag[r] := flag[r], flag[i];
r := r +1;
w := w +1;
i := i +1;
} else if flag[i]== White {
// Extend White section
w := w +1;
i := i +1;
} else {// Blue
// Swap current element with start of Blue section
b := b -1;
flag[i], flag[b] := flag[b], flag[i];
// Do not increment `i` here, as the new element at `i` must be re-evaluated
}
}
white := w;
blue := b;
}
// Method: FlagSortx
method FlagSortx(flag: array)
modifies flag
ensures isSorted(flag)
{
var _,_ := FlagSort(flag);
}
// Predicate: isSorted
predicate isSorted(flag: array)
reads flag
{
forall i :: 0= i flag.Length -1==>(
(flag[i]== Red ==> flag[i +1] in {Red, White, Blue}) &&
(flag[i]== White ==> flag[i +1] in {White, Blue}) &&
(flag[i]== Blue ==> flag[i +1]== Blue)
)
}
// Validator for FlagSortx
method ValidateFlagSortx(flag: array)
modifies flag
ensures isSorted(flag)
{
FlagSortx(flag);
assert isSorted(flag);
}
this is my code and this is the error I'm getting;
The task involves solving a sorting problem with coloured balls using a modified version of the Dijkstra strategy:
1. Create a function that sorts an array of coloured balls into the following order: **unsorted balls first**, followed by **red balls**, then **white balls**, and finally **blue balls**. This function should return two values: the end position of the white section and the start position of the blue section.
2. Modify the sorting function so that it no longer returns any values and directly sorts the array. Then, verify that this function works correctly and does not corrupt the array.
For verification:
- Create a check (a predicate) that ensures the array is sorted in the order: **red balls**,**white balls**, and **blue balls**. The check should not directly compare the data but confirm the correct arrangement of colours.
