Abstract
A system and method for defining code by its functionality is disclosed. The technology initially accesses a portion of code. Once the portion of code is accessed at least one functional operation embedded in the code is determined. When the functional operation in the code is determined, the portion of code is then defined by the functional operation. In so doing, the portion of code can be defined by functional operation without requiring the consideration of any semantics related to the portion of code.
