An Extended Vocabulary System

pspec VOCABULARY-SYSTEM(sort natChar, forChar)
first we import all necessary datatypes and do some renaming the vocabulary is a list of pairs native words and foreign words. All datatypes we need are strings, lists and pairs
import NAT-AND-BOOL;
import (STRING(NatChar) rename string to nativeString);
import (STRING(ForChar) rename string to foreignString);
import (PAIR(nativeString, foreignString) rename pair to entry);
import (LIST(nativeString) rename list to nativeList);
import (LIST(foreignString) rename list to foreignList);
import (PAIR(nat, nat) rename pair to score);
import (LIST(entry) rename list to vocabulary);
next we define the operations on the vocabulary system
opns:
InsertNewEntry: entry x foreignList x nativeList x vocabulary -> vocabulary
TranslateForeign: foreignString x vocabulary -> nativeList
TranslateNative: nativeString x vocabulary -> foreignList
SortNative: vocabulary -> vocabulary
SortForeign: vocabulary -> vocabulary
TestForeign: foreignString x nativeList x vocabulary -> score
TestNative: nativeString x foreignList x vocabulary -> score
OrthoNative: -> nativeList
OrthoForeign: -> foreignList
the hidden operations are for internal use only
hidden opns:
InsertPairSortedNative: entry x vocabulary -> vocabulary
InsertPairSortedForeign: entry x vocabulary -> vocabulary
NumberOfCorrectAnswersN: nativeList x nativeList -> nat
NumberOfPossibleAnswersN: nativeString x vocabulary -> nat
NumberOfCorrectAnswersF: foreignList x foreignList -> nat
NumberOfPossibleAnswersF: foreignString x vocabulary -> nat
