It is closely related to, and often crosses over with, the [[Semantics of logic\|semantics of mathematical proofs]]. '''Semantics''' describes the processes a computer follows when [[Execution (computing)\|executing]] a program in that specific language. This can be done by describing the relationship between the input and output of a program, or giving an explanation of how the program will be executed on a certain [[computer platform\|platform]], thereby creating a [[model of computation]].
