Not all preconditions imply a post-condition; sometimes it's simply to 
constrain the values that you're willing to entertain; for example if 
you have Natural_Float being a subtype of float (range 0.0 .. 
Float'Last) you could use this in an internal simple simulator with 
Square_Root(X: Natural_Float) return Float being a function therein.
