-- This example demonstrates how to specify a proof skeleton that contains -- "holes" that must be filled using user-defined tactics. (* -- Import useful macros for creating tactics import("tactic.lua") -- Define a simple tactic using Lua auto = Repeat(OrElse(assumption_tac(), conj_tac(), conj_hyp_tac())) conj_hyp = conj_hyp_tac() conj = conj_tac() *) -- The (by [tactic]) expression is essentially creating a "hole" and associating a "hint" to it. -- The "hint" is a tactic that should be used to fill the "hole". -- In the following example, we use the tactic "auto" defined by the Lua code above. -- -- The (show [expr] by [tactic]) expression is also creating a "hole" and associating a "hint" to it. -- The expression [expr] after the shows is fixing the type of the "hole" Theorem T1 (A B : Bool) : A /\ B -> B /\ A := fun assumption : A /\ B, let lemma1 : A := (by auto), lemma2 : B := (by auto) in (show B /\ A by auto) Show Environment 1. -- Show proof for the previous theorem -- When hints are not provided, the user must fill the (remaining) holes using tactic command sequences. -- Each hole must be filled with a tactic command sequence that terminates with the command 'done' and -- successfully produces a proof term for filling the hole. Here is the same example without hints -- This style is more convenient for interactive proofs Theorem T2 (A B : Bool) : A /\ B -> B /\ A := fun assumption : A /\ B, let lemma1 : A := _, -- first hole lemma2 : B := _ -- second hole in _. -- third hole auto. done. -- tactic command sequence for the first hole auto. done. -- tactic command sequence for the second hole auto. done. -- tactic command sequence for the third hole -- In the following example, instead of using the "auto" tactic, we apply a sequence of even simpler tactics.
