(** * Polymorphism *)

(** In this chapter we continue our development of basic
    concepts of functional programming.  The critical new ideas are
    _polymorphism_ (abstracting functions over the types of the data
    they manipulate) and _higher-order functions_ (treating functions
    as data).  We begin with polymorphism. *)

(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Polymorphic Lists *)

(** For the last couple of chapters, we've been working just
    with lists of numbers.  Obviously, interesting programs also need
    to be able to manipulate lists with elements from other types --
    lists of strings, lists of booleans, lists of lists, etc.  We
    _could_ just define a new inductive datatype for each of these,
    for example... *)

Inductive boollist : Type :=
  | bool_nil
  | bool_cons (b : bool) (l : boollist).

(** ... but this would quickly become tedious, partly because we
    have to make up different constructor names for each datatype, but
    mostly because we would also need to define new versions of all
    our list manipulating functions ([length], [rev], etc.) for each
    new datatype definition. *)

(** To avoid all this repetition, Coq supports _polymorphic_
    inductive type definitions.  For example, here is a _polymorphic
    list_ datatype. *)

Inductive list (X:Type) : Type :=
  | nil
  | cons (x : X) (l : list X).

(** This is exactly like the definition of [natlist] from the
    previous chapter, except that the [nat] argument to the [cons]
    constructor has been replaced by an arbitrary type [X], a binding
    for [X] has been added to the header, and the occurrences of
    [natlist] in the types of the constructors have been replaced by
    [list X].  (We can re-use the constructor names [nil] and [cons]
    because the earlier definition of [natlist] was inside of a
    [Module] definition that is now out of scope.)

    What sort of thing is [list] itself?  One good way to think
    about it is that [list] is a _function_ from [Type]s to
    [Inductive] definitions; or, to put it another way, [list] is a
    function from [Type]s to [Type]s.  For any particular type [X],
    the type [list X] is an [Inductive]ly defined set of lists whose
    elements are of type [X]. *)

Check list.
(* ===> list : Type -> Type *)

(** The parameter [X] in the definition of [list] automatically
    becomes a parameter to the constructors [nil] and [cons] -- that
    is, [nil] and [cons] are now polymorphic constructors; when we use
    them, we must now provide a first argument that is the type of the
    list they are building. For example, [nil nat] constructs the
    empty list of type [nat]. *)

Check (nil nat).
(* ===> nil nat : list nat *)

(** Similarly, [cons nat] adds an element of type [nat] to a list of
    type [list nat]. Here is an example of forming a list containing
    just the natural number 3. *)

Check (cons nat 3 (nil nat)).
(* ===> cons nat 3 (nil nat) : list nat *)

(** What might the type of [nil] be? We can read off the type [list X]
    from the definition, but this omits the binding for [X] which is
    the parameter to [list]. [Type -> list X] does not explain the
    meaning of [X]. [(X : Type) -> list X] comes closer. Coq's
    notation for this situation is [forall X : Type, list X]. *)

Check nil.
(* ===> nil : forall X : Type, list X *)

(** Similarly, the type of [cons] from the definition looks like
    [X -> list X -> list X], but using this convention to explain the
    meaning of [X] results in the type [forall X, X -> list X -> list
    X]. *)

Check cons.
(* ===> cons : forall X : Type, X -> list X -> list X *)

(** (Side note on notation: In .v files, the "forall" quantifier
    is spelled out in letters.  In the generated HTML files and in the
    way various IDEs show .v files (with certain settings of their
    display controls), [forall] is usually typeset as the usual
    mathematical "upside down A," but you'll still see the spelled-out
    "forall" in a few places.  This is just a quirk of typesetting:
    there is no difference in meaning.) *)

(** Having to supply a type argument for each use of a list
    constructor may seem an awkward burden, but we will soon see
    ways of reducing that burden. *)

Check (cons nat 2 (cons nat 1 (nil nat))).

(** (We've written [nil] and [cons] explicitly here because we haven't
    yet defined the [ [] ] and [::] notations for the new version of
    lists.  We'll do that in a bit.) *)

(** We can now go back and make polymorphic versions of all the
    list-processing functions that we wrote before.  Here is [repeat],
    for example: *)

Fixpoint repeat (X : Type) (x : X) (count : nat) : list X :=
  match count with
  | 0 => nil X
  | S count' => cons X x (repeat X x count')
  end.

(** As with [nil] and [cons], we can use [repeat] by applying it
    first to a type and then to an element of this type (and a number): *)

Example test_repeat1 :
  repeat nat 4 2 = cons nat 4 (cons nat 4 (nil nat)).
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** To use [repeat] to build other kinds of lists, we simply
    instantiate it with an appropriate type parameter: *)

Example test_repeat2 :
  repeat bool false 1 = cons bool false (nil bool).
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.


(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, standard (mumble_grumble)  

    Consider the following two inductively defined types. *)

Module MumbleGrumble.

Inductive mumble : Type :=
  | a
  | b (x : mumble) (y : nat)
  | c.

Inductive grumble (X:Type) : Type :=
  | d (m : mumble)
  | e (x : X).

(** Which of the following are well-typed elements of [grumble X] for
    some type [X]?  (Add YES or NO to each line.)
      - [d (b a 5)]
      - [d mumble (b a 5)]
      - [d bool (b a 5)]
      - [e bool true]
      - [e mumble (b c 0)]
      - [e bool (b c 0)]
      - [c]  *)
(* FILL IN HERE *)
End MumbleGrumble.

(* Do not modify the following line: *)
Definition manual_grade_for_mumble_grumble : option (nat*string) := None.
(** [] *)

(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** Type Annotation Inference *)

(** Let's write the definition of [repeat] again, but this time we
    won't specify the types of any of the arguments.  Will Coq still
    accept it? *)

Fixpoint repeat' X x count : list X :=
  match count with
  | 0        => nil X
  | S count' => cons X x (repeat' X x count')
  end.

(** Indeed it will.  Let's see what type Coq has assigned to [repeat']: *)

Check repeat'.
(* ===> forall X : Type, X -> nat -> list X *)
Check repeat.
(* ===> forall X : Type, X -> nat -> list X *)

(** It has exactly the same type as [repeat].  Coq was able
    to use _type inference_ to deduce what the types of [X], [x], and
    [count] must be, based on how they are used.  For example, since
    [X] is used as an argument to [cons], it must be a [Type], since
    [cons] expects a [Type] as its first argument; matching [count]
    with [0] and [S] means it must be a [nat]; and so on.

    This powerful facility means we don't always have to write
    explicit type annotations everywhere, although explicit type
    annotations are still quite useful as documentation and sanity
    checks, so we will continue to use them most of the time.  You
    should try to find a balance in your own code between too many
    type annotations (which can clutter and distract) and too
    few (which forces readers to perform type inference in their heads
    in order to understand your code). *)

(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** Type Argument Synthesis *)

(** To use a polymorphic function, we need to pass it one or
    more types in addition to its other arguments.  For example, the
    recursive call in the body of the [repeat] function above must
    pass along the type [X].  But since the second argument to
    [repeat] is an element of [X], it seems entirely obvious that the
    first argument can only be [X] -- why should we have to write it
    explicitly?

    Fortunately, Coq permits us to avoid this kind of redundancy.  In
    place of any type argument we can write a "hole" [_], which can be
    read as "Please try to figure out for yourself what belongs here."
    More precisely, when Coq encounters a [_], it will attempt to
    _unify_ all locally available information -- the type of the
    function being applied, the types of the other arguments, and the
    type expected by the context in which the application appears --
    to determine what concrete type should replace the [_].

    This may sound similar to type annotation inference -- indeed, the
    two procedures rely on the same underlying mechanisms.  Instead of
    simply omitting the types of some arguments to a function, like

      repeat' X x count : list X :=

    we can also replace the types with [_]

      repeat' (X : _) (x : _) (count : _) : list X :=

    to tell Coq to attempt to infer the missing information.

    Using holes, the [repeat] function can be written like this: *)

Fixpoint repeat'' X x count : list X :=
  match count with
  | 0        => nil _
  | S count' => cons _ x (repeat'' _ x count')
  end.

(** In this instance, we don't save much by writing [_] instead of
    [X].  But in many cases the difference in both keystrokes and
    readability is nontrivial.  For example, suppose we want to write
    down a list containing the numbers [1], [2], and [3].  Instead of
    writing this... *)

Definition list123 :=
  cons nat 1 (cons nat 2 (cons nat 3 (nil nat))).

(** ...we can use holes to write this: *)

Definition list123' :=
  cons _ 1 (cons _ 2 (cons _ 3 (nil _))).

(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** Implicit Arguments *)

(** We can go further and even avoid writing [_]'s in most cases by
    telling Coq _always_ to infer the type argument(s) of a given
    function.

    The [Arguments] directive specifies the name of the function (or
    constructor) and then lists its argument names, with curly braces
    around any arguments to be treated as implicit.  (If some
    arguments of a definition don't have a name, as is often the case
    for constructors, they can be marked with a wildcard pattern
    [_].) *)

Arguments nil {X}.
Arguments cons {X} _ _.
Arguments repeat {X} x count.

(** Now, we don't have to supply type arguments at all: *)

Definition list123'' := cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil)).

(** Alternatively, we can declare an argument to be implicit
    when defining the function itself, by surrounding it in curly
    braces instead of parens.  For example: *)

Fixpoint repeat''' {X : Type} (x : X) (count : nat) : list X :=
  match count with
  | 0        => nil
  | S count' => cons x (repeat''' x count')
  end.

(** (Note that we didn't even have to provide a type argument to the
    recursive call to [repeat''']; indeed, it would be invalid to
    provide one!)

    We will use the latter style whenever possible, but we will
    continue to use explicit [Argument] declarations for [Inductive]
    constructors.  The reason for this is that marking the parameter
    of an inductive type as implicit causes it to become implicit for
    the type itself, not just for its constructors.  For instance,
    consider the following alternative definition of the [list]
    type: *)

Inductive list' {X:Type} : Type :=
  | nil'
  | cons' (x : X) (l : list').

(** Because [X] is declared as implicit for the _entire_ inductive
    definition including [list'] itself, we now have to write just
    [list'] whether we are talking about lists of numbers or booleans
    or anything else, rather than [list' nat] or [list' bool] or
    whatever; this is a step too far. *)

(** Let's finish by re-implementing a few other standard list
    functions on our new polymorphic lists... *)

Fixpoint app {X : Type} (l1 l2 : list X)
             : (list X) :=
  match l1 with
  | nil      => l2
  | cons h t => cons h (app t l2)
  end.

Fixpoint rev {X:Type} (l:list X) : list X :=
  match l with
  | nil      => nil
  | cons h t => app (rev t) (cons h nil)
  end.

Fixpoint length {X : Type} (l : list X) : nat :=
  match l with
  | nil => 0
  | cons _ l' => S (length l')
  end.

Example test_rev1 :
  rev (cons 1 (cons 2 nil)) = (cons 2 (cons 1 nil)).
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

Example test_rev2:
  rev (cons true nil) = cons true nil.
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

Example test_length1: length (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil))) = 3.
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** Supplying Type Arguments Explicitly *)

(** One small problem with declaring arguments [Implicit] is
    that, occasionally, Coq does not have enough local information to
    determine a type argument; in such cases, we need to tell Coq that
    we want to give the argument explicitly just this time.  For
    example, suppose we write this: *)

Fail Definition mynil := nil.

(** (The [Fail] qualifier that appears before [Definition] can be
    used with _any_ command, and is used to ensure that that command
    indeed fails when executed. If the command does fail, Coq prints
    the corresponding error message, but continues processing the rest
    of the file.)

    Here, Coq gives us an error because it doesn't know what type
    argument to supply to [nil].  We can help it by providing an
    explicit type declaration (so that Coq has more information
    available when it gets to the "application" of [nil]): *)

Definition mynil : list nat := nil.

(** Alternatively, we can force the implicit arguments to be explicit by
   prefixing the function name with [@]. *)

Check @nil.

Definition mynil' := @nil nat.

(** Using argument synthesis and implicit arguments, we can
    define convenient notation for lists, as before.  Since we have
    made the constructor type arguments implicit, Coq will know to
    automatically infer these when we use the notations. *)

Notation "x :: y" := (cons x y)
                     (at level 60, right associativity).
Notation "[ ]" := nil.
Notation "[ x ; .. ; y ]" := (cons x .. (cons y []) ..).
Notation "x ++ y" := (app x y)
                     (at level 60, right associativity).

(** Now lists can be written just the way we'd hope: *)

Definition list123''' := [1; 2; 3].

(** *** Exercises *)

(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Polymorphic Pairs *)

(** Following the same pattern, the type definition we gave in
    the last chapter for pairs of numbers can be generalized to
    _polymorphic pairs_, often called _products_: *)

Inductive prod (X Y : Type) : Type :=
| pair (x : X) (y : Y).

Arguments pair {X} {Y} _ _.

(** As with lists, we make the type arguments implicit and define the
    familiar concrete notation. *)

Notation "( x , y )" := (pair x y).

(** We can also use the [Notation] mechanism to define the standard
    notation for product _types_: *)

Notation "X * Y" := (prod X Y) : type_scope.

(** (The annotation [: type_scope] tells Coq that this abbreviation
    should only be used when parsing types.  This avoids a clash with
    the multiplication symbol.) *)

(** It is easy at first to get [(x,y)] and [X*Y] confused.
    Remember that [(x,y)] is a _value_ built from two other values,
    while [X*Y] is a _type_ built from two other types.  If [x] has
    type [X] and [y] has type [Y], then [(x,y)] has type [X*Y]. *)

(** The first and second projection functions now look pretty
    much as they would in any functional programming language. *)

Definition fst {X Y : Type} (p : X * Y) : X :=
  match p with
  | (x, y) => x
  end.

Definition snd {X Y : Type} (p : X * Y) : Y :=
  match p with
  | (x, y) => y
  end.

(** The following function takes two lists and combines them
    into a list of pairs.  In other functional languages, it is often
    called [zip]; we call it [combine] for consistency with Coq's
    standard library. *)

Fixpoint combine {X Y : Type} (lx : list X) (ly : list Y)
           : list (X*Y) :=
  match lx, ly with
  | [], _ => []
  | _, [] => []
  | x :: tx, y :: ty => (x, y) :: (combine tx ty)
  end.

(** **** Exercise: 1 star, standard, optional (combine_checks)  

    Try answering the following questions on paper and
    checking your answers in Coq:
    - What is the type of [combine] (i.e., what does [Check
      @combine] print?)
    - What does

        Compute (combine [1;2] [false;false;true;true]).

      print? 

    [] *)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, standard, recommended (split)  

    The function [split] is the right inverse of [combine]: it takes a
    list of pairs and returns a pair of lists.  In many functional
    languages, it is called [unzip].

    Fill in the definition of [split] below.  Make sure it passes the
    given unit test. *)

(** ** Polymorphic Options *)

(** One last polymorphic type for now: _polymorphic options_,
    which generalize [natoption] from the previous chapter.  (We put
    the definition inside a module because the standard library
    already defines [option] and it's this one that we want to use
    below.) *)

Module OptionPlayground.

Inductive option (X:Type) : Type :=

Arguments Some {X} _.
Arguments None {X}.

(** We can now rewrite the [nth_error] function so that it works
    with any type of lists. *)

Fixpoint nth_error {X : Type} (l : list X) (n : nat)

(** * Functions as Data *)

(** Like many other modern programming languages -- including
    all functional languages (ML, Haskell, Scheme, Scala, Clojure,
    etc.) -- Coq treats functions as first-class citizens, allowing
    them to be passed as arguments to other functions, returned as
    results, stored in data structures, etc. *)

(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Higher-Order Functions *)

(** Functions that manipulate other functions are often called
    _higher-order_ functions.  Here's a simple one: *)

Definition doit3times {X:Type} (f:X->X) (n:X) : X :=
  f (f (f n)).

(** The argument [f] here is itself a function (from [X] to

(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Filter *)

(** Here is a more useful higher-order function, taking a list
    of [X]s and a _predicate_ on [X] (a function from [X] to [bool])
    and "filtering" the list, returning a new list containing just
    those elements for which the predicate returns [true]. *)

Fixpoint filter {X:Type} (test: X->bool) (l:list X)

  | h :: t => if test h then h :: (filter test t)
                        else       filter test t
  end.

(** For example, if we apply [filter] to the predicate [evenb]
    and a list of numbers [l], it returns a list containing just the
    even members of [l]. *)

Definition length_is_1 {X : Type} (l : list X) : bool :=

(** ** Anonymous Functions *)

(** It is arguably a little sad, in the example just above, to
    be forced to define the function [length_is_1] and give it a name
    just to be able to pass it as an argument to [filter], since we
    will probably never use it again.  Moreover, this is not an
    isolated example: when using higher-order functions, we often want
    to pass as arguments "one-off" functions that we will never use
    again; having to give each of these functions a name would be
    tedious.

    Fortunately, there is a better way.  We can construct a function
    "on the fly" without declaring it at the top level or giving it a

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, standard (partition)  

    Use [filter] to write a Coq function [partition]:

      partition : forall X : Type,
                  (X -> bool) -> list X -> list X * list X

   Given a set [X], a test function of type [X -> bool] and a [list
   X], [partition] should return a pair of lists.  The first member of
   the pair is the sublist of the original list containing the
   elements that satisfy the test, and the second is the sublist
   containing those that fail the test.  The order of elements in the
   two sublists should be the same as their order in the original
   list. *)

Definition partition {X : Type}

Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** The element types of the input and output lists need not be
    the same, since [map] takes _two_ type arguments, [X] and [Y]; it
    can thus be applied to a list of numbers and a function from
    numbers to booleans to yield a list of booleans: *)

Example test_map2:
  map oddb [2;1;2;5] = [false;true;false;true].
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** It can even be applied to a list of numbers and

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, standard, recommended (flat_map)  

    The function [map] maps a [list X] to a [list Y] using a function
    of type [X -> Y].  We can define a similar function, [flat_map],
    which maps a [list X] to a [list Y] using a function [f] of type
    [X -> list Y].  Your definition should work by 'flattening' the
    results of [f], like so:

        flat_map (fun n => [n;n+1;n+2]) [1;5;10]
      = [1; 2; 3; 5; 6; 7; 10; 11; 12].

(** Lists are not the only inductive type for which [map] makes sense.

                      : option Y :=
  match xo with
    | None => None
    | Some x => Some (f x)
  end.

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, standard, optional (implicit_args)  

    The definitions and uses of [filter] and [map] use implicit
    arguments in many places.  Replace the curly braces around the
    implicit arguments with parentheses, and then fill in explicit
    type parameters where necessary and use Coq to check that you've
    done so correctly.  (This exercise is not to be turned in; it is
    probably easiest to do it on a _copy_ of this file that you can
    throw away afterwards.)

(** ** Fold *)

(** An even more powerful higher-order function is called
    [fold].  This function is the inspiration for the "[reduce]"
    operation that lies at the heart of Google's map/reduce
    distributed programming framework. *)

Fixpoint fold {X Y: Type} (f: X->Y->Y) (l: list X) (b: Y)
                         : Y :=
  match l with
  | nil => b
  | h :: t => f h (fold f t b)
  end.

(** Intuitively, the behavior of the [fold] operation is to
    insert a given binary operator [f] between every pair of elements
    in a given list.  For example, [ fold plus [1;2;3;4] ] intuitively
    means [1+2+3+4].  To make this precise, we also need a "starting
    element" that serves as the initial second input to [f].  So, for
    example,

       fold plus [1;2;3;4] 0

    yields

       1 + (2 + (3 + (4 + 0))).

    Some more examples: *)

(** **** Exercise: 1 star, advanced (fold_types_different)  

    Observe that the type of [fold] is parameterized by _two_ type
    variables, [X] and [Y], and the parameter [f] is a binary operator
    that takes an [X] and a [Y] and returns a [Y].  Can you think of a
    situation where it would be useful for [X] and [Y] to be

(** ** Functions That Construct Functions *)

(** Most of the higher-order functions we have talked about so
    far take functions as arguments.  Let's look at some examples that
    involve _returning_ functions as the results of other functions.
    To begin, here is a function that takes a value [x] (drawn from
    some type [X]) and returns a function from [nat] to [X] that
    yields [x] whenever it is called, ignoring its [nat] argument. *)

Definition constfun {X: Type} (x: X) : nat->X :=
  fun (k:nat) => x.

Definition ftrue := constfun true.

Example constfun_example1 : ftrue 0 = true.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.

Example constfun_example2 : (constfun 5) 99 = 5.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.

(** In fact, the multiple-argument functions we have already
    seen are also examples of passing functions as data.  To see why,
    recall the type of [plus]. *)

Check plus.
(* ==> nat -> nat -> nat *)

(** Each [->] in this expression is actually a _binary_ operator
    on types.  This operator is _right-associative_, so the type of
    [plus] is really a shorthand for [nat -> (nat -> nat)] -- i.e., it
    can be read as saying that "[plus] is a one-argument function that
    takes a [nat] and returns a one-argument function that takes
    another [nat] and returns a [nat]."  In the examples above, we
    have always applied [plus] to both of its arguments at once, but
    if we like we can supply just the first.  This is called _partial
    application_. *)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, advanced (currying)  

    In Coq, a function [f : A -> B -> C] really has the type [A
    -> (B -> C)].  That is, if you give [f] a value of type [A], it
    will give you function [f' : B -> C].  If you then give [f'] a
    value of type [B], it will return a value of type [C].  This
    allows for partial application, as in [plus3].  Processing a list
    of arguments with functions that return functions is called
    _currying_, in honor of the logician Haskell Curry.

    Conversely, we can reinterpret the type [A -> B -> C] as [(A *
    B) -> C].  This is called _uncurrying_.  With an uncurried binary
    function, both arguments must be given at once as a pair; there is
    no partial application. *)

(** We can define currying as follows: *)

Definition prod_curry {X Y Z : Type}
  (f : X * Y -> Z) (x : X) (y : Y) : Z := f (x, y).

(** As an exercise, define its inverse, [prod_uncurry].  Then prove
    the theorems below to show that the two are inverses. *)

Definition prod_uncurry {X Y Z : Type}
  (f : X -> Y -> Z) (p : X * Y) : Z
  (* REPLACE THIS LINE WITH ":= _your_definition_ ." *). Admitted.

(** As a (trivial) example of the usefulness of currying, we can use it
    to shorten one of the examples that we saw above: *)

Example test_map1': map (plus 3) [2;0;2] = [5;3;5].
