Any compiler or transpiler is doing some form of program synthesis. But “proper” program synthesis usually means generation of high level programs from scratch, given only high level problem descriptions. This post is about one of the most simple and straightforward methods of automatic program synthesis: inductive synthesis based on input-output examples specification and brute-force enumerative search. Let's start with a simple example. Suppose that we want to automatically generate a program that reverses an array. How to formulate this task for the automatic program generator? One option is to just describe it in natural language. But it would be quite hard to automatically parse and…from grgv.xyz
