In the "Compile" menu, click on "Compile Buffer". - Command line: Run [coqc Basics.v] In this file, we again use the [Module] feature to wrap all of the definitions for pairs and lists of numbers in a module so that, later, we can reuse the same names for improved (generic) versions of the same operations. *) Module NatList. (* ###################################################### *) (** * Pairs of Numbers *) (** In an [Inductive] type definition, each constructor can take any number of parameters -- none (as with [true] and [O]), one (as with [S]), or more than one, as in this definition: *) Inductive natprod : Type := pair : nat -> nat -> natprod. (** This declaration can be read: "There is just one way to construct a pair of numbers: by applying the constructor [pair] to two arguments of type [nat]." Here are some simple function definitions illustrating pattern matching on two-argument constructors: *) Definition fst (p : natprod) : nat := match p with | pair x y => x end. Definition snd (p : natprod) : nat := match p with | pair x y => y end. (** Since pairs are used quite a bit, it is nice to be able to write them with the standard mathematical notation [(x,y)] instead of [pair x y]. We can tell Coq to allow this with a [Notation] declaration. *) Notation "( x , y )" := (pair x y). (** The new notation can be used both in expressions and in pattern matches (indeed, we've seen it already in the previous chapter -- this notation is provided as part of the standard library): *) Eval simpl in (fst (3,4)). Definition fst' (p : natprod) : nat := match p with | (x,y) => x end. Definition snd' (p : natprod) : nat := match p with | (x,y) => y end. Definition swap_pair (p : natprod) : natprod := match p with | (x,y) => (y,x) end. (** Let's try and prove a few simple facts about pairs. If we state the lemmas in a particular (and slightly peculiar) way, we can prove them with just reflexivity (and its built-in simplification): *) Theorem surjective_pairing' : forall (n m : nat), (n,m) = (fst (n,m), snd (n,m)). Proof. reflexivity. Qed. (** But reflexivity is not enough if we state the lemma in a more natural way: *) Theorem surjective_pairing_stuck : forall (p : natprod), p = (fst p, snd p). Proof. simpl. (* Doesn't reduce anything! *) Admitted. (** We have to expose the structure of [p] so that [simpl] can perform the pattern match in [fst] and [snd]. We can do this with [destruct].

Qed. (** [] *) (* ###################################################### *) (** * Lists of Numbers *) (** Generalizing the definition of pairs a little, we can describe the type of _lists_ of numbers like this: "A list is either the empty list or else a pair of a number and another list." *) Inductive natlist : Type := | nil : natlist | cons : nat -> natlist -> natlist. (** For example, here is a three-element list: *) Definition l_123 := cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil)). (** As with pairs, it is more convenient to write lists in familiar programming notation. The following two declarations allow us to use [::] as an infix [cons] operator and square brackets as an "outfix" notation for constructing lists. *) Notation "x :: l" := (cons x l) (at level 60, right associativity). Notation "[ ]" := nil. Notation "[ x , .. , y ]" := (cons x .. (cons y nil) ..). (** It is not necessary to fully understand these declarations, but in case you are interested, here is roughly what's going on. The [right associativity] annotation tells Coq how to parenthesize expressions involving several uses of [::] so that, for example, the next three declarations mean exactly the same thing: *) Definition l_123' := 1 :: (2 :: (3 :: nil)). Definition l_123'' := 1 :: 2 :: 3 :: nil. Definition l_123''' := [1,2,3]. (** The [at level 60] part tells Coq how to parenthesize expressions that involve both [::] and some other infix operator. For example, since we defined [+] as infix notation for the [plus] function at level 50, [[ Notation "x + y" := (plus x y) (at level 50, left associativity). ]] The [+] operator will bind tighter than [::], so [1 + 2 :: [3]] will be parsed, as we'd expect, as [(1 + 2) :: [3]] rather than [1 + (2 :: [3])]. (By the way, it's worth noting in passing that expressions like "[1 + 2 :: [3]]" can be a little confusing when you read them in a .v file. The inner brackets, around 3, indicate a list, but the outer brackets are there to instruct the "coqdoc" tool that the bracketed part should be displayed as Coq code rather than running text. These brackets don't appear in the generated HTML.) The second and third [Notation] declarations above introduce the standard square-bracket notation for lists; the right-hand side of the third one illustrates Coq's syntax for declaring n-ary notations and translating them to nested sequences of binary constructors. *) (** A number of functions are useful for manipulating lists. For example, the [repeat] function takes a number [n] and a [count] and returns a list of length [count] where every element is [n]. *) Fixpoint repeat (n count : nat) : natlist := match count with | O => nil | S count' => n :: (repeat n count') end. (** The [length] function calculates the length of a list. *) Fixpoint length (l:natlist) : nat := match l with | nil => O | h :: t => S (length t) end. (** The [app] ("append") function concatenates two lists. *) Fixpoint app (l1 l2 : natlist) : natlist := match l1 with | nil => l2 | h :: t => h :: (app t l2) end. (** Actually, [app] will be used a lot in some parts of what follows, so it is convenient to have an infix operator for it. *) Notation "x ++ y" := (app x y) (right associativity, at level 60).

For [sum] we're giving you a header that does not give explicit names to the arguments.

It is very important to work through the details of each one, using Coq and thinking about what each step of the proof achieves. Otherwise it is more or less guaranteed that the exercises will make no sense. *) (* ###################################################### *) (** ** Induction on Lists *) (** Proofs by induction over datatypes like [natlist] are perhaps a little less familiar than standard natural number induction, but the basic idea is equally simple. Each [Inductive] declaration defines a set of data values that can be built up from the declared constructors: a boolean can be either [true] or [false]; a number can be either [O] or [S] applied to a number; a list can be either [nil] or [cons] applied to a number and a list. Moreover, applications of the declared constructors to one another are the _only_ possible shapes that elements of an inductively defined set can have, and this fact directly gives rise to a way of reasoning about inductively defined sets: a number is either [O] or else it is [S] applied to some _smaller_ number; a list is either [nil] or else it is [cons] applied to some number and some _smaller_ list; etc. So, if we have in mind some proposition [P] that mentions a list [l] and we want to argue that [P] holds for _all_ lists, we can reason as follows: - First, show that [P] is true of [l] when [l] is [nil]. - Then show that [P] is true of [l] when [l] is [cons n l'] for some number [n] and some smaller list [l'], asssuming that [P] is true for [l']. Since larger lists can only be built up from smaller ones, eventually reaching [nil], these two things together establish the truth of [P] for all lists [l]. Here's a concrete example: *) Theorem app_ass : forall l1 l2 l3 : natlist, (l1 ++ l2) ++ l3 = l1 ++ (l2 ++ l3). Proof. intros l1 l2 l3. induction l1 as [| n l1']. Case "l1 = nil". simpl. reflexivity.

So a natural-language proof -- one written for human readers -- will need to include more explicit signposts; in particular, it will help the reader stay oriented if we remind them exactly what the induction hypothesis is in the second case. *) (** _Theorem_: For all lists [l1], [l2], and [l3], [(l1 ++ l2) ++ l3 = l1 ++ (l2 ++ l3)]. _Proof_: By induction on [l1]. - First, suppose [l1 = []].

We must show [[ ((n :: l1') ++ l2) ++ l3 = (n :: l1') ++ (l2 ++ l3). ]] By the definition of [++], this follows from [[ n :: ((l1' ++ l2) ++ l3) = n :: (l1' ++ (l2 ++ l3)), ]] which is immediate from the induction hypothesis.

(* FILL IN HERE *) *) (** [] *) (* ###################################################### *) (** * Varying the Induction Hypothesis *) (** One subtlety in these inductive proofs is worth noticing here. For example, look back at the proof of the [app_ass] theorem. The induction hypothesis (in the second subgoal generated by the [induction] tactic) is [ (l1' ++ l2) ++ l3 = l1' ++ l2 ++ l3 ]. (Note that, because we've defined [++] to be right associative, the expression on the right of the [=] is the same as writing [l1' ++ (l2 ++ l3)].) This hypothesis makes a statement about [l1'] together with the _particular_ lists [l2] and [l3]. The lists [l2] and [l3], which were introduced into the context by the [intros] at the top of the proof, are "held constant" in the induction hypothesis. If we set up the proof slightly differently by introducing just [n] into the context at the top, then we get an induction hypothesis that makes a stronger claim: [ forall l2 l3, (l1' ++ l2) ++ l3 = l1' ++ l2 ++ l3 ] Use Coq to see the difference for yourself. In the present case, the difference between the two proofs is minor, since the definition of the [++] function just examines its first argument and doesn't do anything interesting with its second argument. But we'll soon come to situations where setting up the induction hypothesis one way or the other can make the difference between a proof working and failing. *) (** **** Exercise: 2 stars, optional (app_ass') *) (** Give an alternate proof of the associativity of [++] with a more general induction hypothesis.
