If there are no issues of aliasing,
then in the sequence of assignments
x : = 3 * a + b * (c - 4 * d); y : = a - 2 * b + c * c; z : = d + a * (b-2);
the order of execution has been overspecified, in that there are 3!=6 orders of doing the assignments that achieve identical results. Use one of Dijkstra's guarded commands to express the fact that the order of assignment is irrelevant. You should avoid thinking in typical von Neumann deterministic terms, and you do not need any new variables.
