Classical proof that if f is injective, then f has a left inverse (if domain is not empty).
|
||
|
The proof uses the classical axioms: choice and excluded middle.
|
||
|
The excluded middle is being used "behind the scenes" to allow us to write the if-then-else expression
|
||
|
with (∃ a : A, f a = b).
