(** * Lists: Working with Structured Data *)
Require Export Induction.
Module NatList.
(* ###################################################### *)
(** * Pairs of Numbers *)
(** In an [Inductive] type definition, each constructor can take
any number of arguments -- 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]." *)
(** We can construct an element of [natprod] like this: *)
Check (pair 3 5).
(** *** *)
(** Here are two simple function definitions for extracting the
first and second components of a pair. (The definitions also
illustrate how to do 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.
Eval compute in (fst (pair 3 5)).
(* ===> 3 *)
(** *** *)
(** 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 compute in (fst (3,5)).
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.
(** Note that [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! *)
Abort.
(** *** *)
(** 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].
Notice that, unlike for [nat]s, [destruct] doesn't generate an
extra subgoal here. That's because [natprod]s can only be
constructed in one way. *)
Theorem surjective_pairing : forall (p : natprod),
p = (fst p, snd p).
Proof.
intros p. destruct p as [n m]. simpl. reflexivity. Qed.
(** **** Exercise: 1 star (snd_fst_is_swap) *)
Theorem snd_fst_is_swap : forall (p : natprod),
(snd p, fst p) = swap_pair p.
Proof.
destruct p as [n m].
simpl.
reflexivity.
Qed.
(** **** Exercise: 1 star, optional (fst_swap_is_snd) *)
Theorem fst_swap_is_snd : forall (p : natprod),
fst (swap_pair p) = snd p.
Proof.
destruct p as [n m].
simpl.
reflexivity.
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 mylist := 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 mylist1 := 1 :: (2 :: (3 :: nil)).
Definition mylist2 := 1 :: 2 :: 3 :: nil.
Definition mylist3 := [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, which are invisible in the HTML rendering, are there to
instruct the "coqdoc" tool that the bracketed part should be
displayed as Coq code rather than running text.)
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. *)
(** *** Repeat *)
(** 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.
(** *** Length *)
(** 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.
(** *** Append *)
(** 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).
Example test_app1: [1;2;3] ++ [4;5] = [1;2;3;4;5].
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
Example test_app2: nil ++ [4;5] = [4;5].
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
Example test_app3: [1;2;3] ++ nil = [1;2;3].
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Here are two smaller examples of programming with lists.

the fact that the [cons] constructor for lists takes two
arguments (the head and tail of the list it is constructing). *)
(** Usually, though, interesting theorems about lists require
induction for their proofs. *)
(* ###################################################### *)
(** ** Micro-Sermon *)
(** Simply reading example proofs will not get you very far! 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'], assuming 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_assoc : forall l1 l2 l3 : natlist,
(l1 ++ l2) ++ l3 = l1 ++ (l2 ++ l3).
Proof.
intros l1 l2 l3. induction l1 as [| n l1'].
Case "l1 = nil".
reflexivity.
Case "l1 = cons n l1'".
simpl. rewrite -> IHl1'. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Again, this Coq proof is not especially illuminating as a
static written document -- it is easy to see what's going on if
you are reading the proof in an interactive Coq session and you
can see the current goal and context at each point, but this state
is not visible in the written-down parts of the Coq proof. 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. *)
(** *** Informal version *)
(** _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
([] ++ l2) ++ l3 = [] ++ (l2 ++ l3),
which follows directly from the definition of [++].
- Next, suppose [l1 = n::l1'], with
(l1' ++ l2) ++ l3 = l1' ++ (l2 ++ l3)
(the induction hypothesis). 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. []

(** *** Reversing a list *)

[snoc] like this... *)
(* "snoc" is reverse string of "cons" *)
Fixpoint snoc (l:natlist) (v:nat) : natlist :=
match l with
| nil => [v]
| h :: t => h :: (snoc t v)

(** ... and use it to define a list-reversing function [rev]

(** *** Proofs about reverse *)
(** Now let's prove some more list theorems using our newly
defined [snoc] and [rev]. For something a little more challenging
than the inductive proofs we've seen so far, let's prove that
reversing a list does not change its length. Our first attempt at
this proof gets stuck in the successor case... *)

in either the immediate context or the global

rewrite the goal... *)
rewrite <- IHl'.
(* ... but now we can't go any further. *)
Abort.
(** So let's take the equation about [snoc] that would have

(**
Note that we make the lemma as _general_ as possible: in particular,
we quantify over _all_ [natlist]s, not just those that result
from an application of [rev]. This should seem natural,
because the truth of the goal clearly doesn't depend on
the list having been reversed. Moreover, it is much easier
to prove the more general property.

(** Now we can complete the original proof. *)

(** For comparison, here are informal proofs of these two theorems:
_Theorem_: For all numbers [n] and lists [l],
[length (snoc l n) = S (length l)].
_Proof_: By induction on [l].
- First, suppose [l = []]. We must show
length (snoc [] n) = S (length []),
which follows directly from the definitions of
[length] and [snoc].
- Next, suppose [l = n'::l'], with
length (snoc l' n) = S (length l').
We must show
length (snoc (n' :: l') n) = S (length (n' :: l')).
By the definitions of [length] and [snoc], this
follows from
S (length (snoc l' n)) = S (S (length l')),
]]
which is immediate from the induction hypothesis. [] *)
(** _Theorem_: For all lists [l], [length (rev l) = length l].
_Proof_: By induction on [l].
- First, suppose [l = []]. We must show
length (rev []) = length [],
which follows directly from the definitions of [length]
and [rev].
- Next, suppose [l = n::l'], with
length (rev l') = length l'.
We must show
length (rev (n :: l')) = length (n :: l').
By the definition of [rev], this follows from
length (snoc (rev l') n) = S (length l')
which, by the previous lemma, is the same as
S (length (rev l')) = S (length l').
This is immediate from the induction hypothesis. [] *)
(** Obviously, the style of these proofs is rather longwinded
and pedantic. After the first few, we might find it easier to
follow proofs that give fewer details (since we can easily work
them out in our own minds or on scratch paper if necessary) and
just highlight the non-obvious steps. In this more compressed
style, the above proof might look more like this: *)
(** _Theorem_:
For all lists [l], [length (rev l) = length l].
_Proof_: First, observe that
length (snoc l n) = S (length l)
for any [l]. This follows by a straightforward induction on [l].
The main property now follows by another straightforward
induction on [l], using the observation together with the
induction hypothesis in the case where [l = n'::l']. [] *)
(** Which style is preferable in a given situation depends on
the sophistication of the expected audience and on how similar the
proof at hand is to ones that the audience will already be
familiar with. The more pedantic style is a good default for
present purposes. *)

(** ** [SearchAbout] *)
(** We've seen that proofs can make use of other theorems we've
already proved, using [rewrite], and later we will see other ways
of reusing previous theorems. But in order to refer to a theorem,
we need to know its name, and remembering the names of all the
theorems we might ever want to use can become quite difficult! It
is often hard even to remember what theorems have been proven,
much less what they are named.
Coq's [SearchAbout] command is quite helpful with this. Typing
[SearchAbout foo] will cause Coq to display a list of all theorems
involving [foo]. For example, try uncommenting the following to
see a list of theorems that we have proved about [rev]: *)
