(** * Lists: Working with Structured Data *)
From LF 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 with [nybble], and here): *)
Inductive natprod : Type :=
| pair (n1 n2 : nat).
(** 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]." *)
Check (pair 3 5).
(** Here are simple functions for extracting the first and
second components of a pair. *)
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.
Compute (fst (pair 3 5)).
(* ===> 3 *)
(** Since pairs will be used heavily, 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 pair notation can be used both in expressions and in
pattern matches. *)
Compute (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.
(** Note that pattern-matching on a pair (with parentheses: [(x, y)])
is not to be confused with the "multiple pattern" syntax
(with no parentheses: [x, y]) that we have seen previously.
The above examples illustrate pattern matching on a pair with
elements [x] and [y], whereas [minus] below (taken from
[Basics]) performs pattern matching on the values [n]
and [m].
Fixpoint minus (n m : nat) : nat :=
match n, m with
| O , _ => O
| S _ , O => n
| S n', S m' => minus n' m'
end.
The distinction is minor, but it is worth knowing that they
are not the same. For instance, the following definitions are
ill-formed:
(* Can't match on a pair with multiple patterns: *)
Definition bad_fst (p : natprod) : nat :=
match p with
| x, y => x
end.
(* Can't match on multiple values with pair patterns: *)
Definition bad_minus (n m : nat) : nat :=
match n, m with
| (O , _ ) => O
| (S _ , O ) => n
| (S n', S m') => bad_minus n' m'
end.
*)
(** Let's try to prove a few simple facts about pairs.
If we state things in a slightly peculiar way, we can complete
proofs 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! *)
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]. *)
Theorem surjective_pairing : forall (p : natprod),
p = (fst p, snd p).
Proof.
intros p. destruct p as [n m]. simpl. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Notice that, unlike its behavior with [nat]s, where it
generates two subgoals, [destruct] generates just one subgoal
here. That's because [natprod]s can only be constructed in one
way. *)
(** **** Exercise: 1 star, standard (snd_fst_is_swap) *)
Theorem snd_fst_is_swap : forall (p : natprod),
(snd p, fst p) = swap_pair p.

(** * Lists of Numbers *)
(** Generalizing the definition of pairs, 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
| cons (n : nat) (l : 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 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 understand the details of these
declarations, but here is roughly what's going on in case you are
interested. The [right associativity] annotation tells Coq how to
parenthesize expressions involving multiple 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])].
(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] function concatenates (appends) two lists. *)
Fixpoint app (l1 l2 : natlist) : natlist :=
match l1 with
| nil => l2
| h :: t => h :: (app t l2)
end.
(** Since [app] will be used extensively in what follows, it is
again 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.
(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** Head (With Default) and Tail *)
(** Here are two smaller examples of programming with lists.
The [hd] function returns the first element (the "head") of the
list, while [tl] returns everything but the first element (the
"tail"). Since the empty list has no first element, we must pass
a default value to be returned in that case. *)
Definition hd (default:nat) (l:natlist) : nat :=
match l with
| nil => default
| h :: t => h
end.
Definition tl (l:natlist) : natlist :=
match l with
| nil => nil
| h :: t => t
end.

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, advanced (alternate)
Complete the definition of [alternate], which interleaves two
lists into one, alternating between elements taken from the first
list and elements from the second. See the tests below for more
specific examples.
(Note: one natural and elegant way of writing [alternate] will
fail to satisfy Coq's requirement that all [Fixpoint] definitions
be "obviously terminating." If you find yourself in this rut,
look for a slightly more verbose solution that considers elements
of both lists at the same time. One possible solution involves
defining a new kind of pairs, but this is not the only way.) *)

[union] on multisets a little bit differently -- using max instead
of sum -- which is why we don't use that name for this operation.)
For [sum] we're giving you a header that does not give explicit
names to the arguments. Moreover, it uses the keyword
[Definition] instead of [Fixpoint], so even if you had names for
the arguments, you wouldn't be able to process them recursively.
The point of stating the question this way is to encourage you to
think about whether [sum] can be implemented in another way --
perhaps by using functions that have already been defined. *)

(** Here, the [nil] case works because we've chosen to define
[tl nil = nil]. Notice that the [as] annotation on the [destruct]
tactic here introduces two names, [n] and [l'], corresponding to
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_ proof scripts will not get you very far! It is
important to step through the details of each one using Coq and
think about what each step achieves. Otherwise it is more or less
guaranteed that the exercises will make no sense when you get to
them. 'Nuff said. *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** Induction on Lists *)
(** Proofs by induction over datatypes like [natlist] are a
little less familiar than standard natural number induction, but
the idea is equally simple. Each [Inductive] declaration defines
a set of data values that can be built up using the declared
constructors: a boolean can be either [true] or [false]; a number
can be either [O] or [S] applied to another 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 arguments 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' IHl1'].
- (* l1 = nil *)
reflexivity.
- (* l1 = cons n l1' *)
simpl. rewrite -> IHl1'. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Notice that, as when doing induction on natural numbers, the
[as...] clause provided to the [induction] tactic gives a name to
the induction hypothesis corresponding to the smaller list [l1']
in the [cons] case. Once again, this Coq proof is not especially
illuminating as a static 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. *)
(** For comparison, here is an informal proof of the same theorem. *)
(** _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 *)
(** For a slightly more involved example of inductive proof over
lists, suppose we use [app] to define a list-reversing function
[rev]: *)
Fixpoint rev (l:natlist) : natlist :=
match l with
| nil => nil
| h :: t => rev t ++ [h]
end.
Example test_rev1: rev [1;2;3] = [3;2;1].
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
Example test_rev2: rev nil = nil.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(* ----------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** *** Properties of [rev] *)
(** Now, for something a bit more challenging than the proofs
we've seen so far, let's prove that reversing a list does not
change its length. Our first attempt gets stuck in the successor
case... *)
Theorem rev_length_firsttry : forall l : natlist,
length (rev l) = length l.
Proof.
intros l. induction l as [| n l' IHl'].
- (* l = [] *)
reflexivity.
- (* l = n :: l' *)
(* This is the tricky case. Let's begin as usual
by simplifying. *)
simpl.
(* Now we seem to be stuck: the goal is an equality
involving [++], but we don't have any useful equations
in either the immediate context or in the global
environment! We can make a little progress by using
the IH to rewrite the goal... *)
rewrite <- IHl'.
(* ... but now we can't go any further. *)
Abort.
(** So let's take the equation relating [++] and [length] that
would have enabled us to make progress and state it as a separate
lemma. *)
Theorem app_length : forall l1 l2 : natlist,
length (l1 ++ l2) = (length l1) + (length l2).
Proof.
(* WORKED IN CLASS *)
intros l1 l2. induction l1 as [| n l1' IHl1'].
- (* l1 = nil *)
reflexivity.
- (* l1 = cons *)
simpl. rewrite -> IHl1'. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Note that, to make the lemma as general as possible, 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 easier to prove the more general
property. *)
(** Now we can complete the original proof. *)
Theorem rev_length : forall l : natlist,
length (rev l) = length l.
Proof.
intros l. induction l as [| n l' IHl'].
- (* l = nil *)
reflexivity.
- (* l = cons *)
simpl. rewrite -> app_length, plus_comm.
simpl. rewrite -> IHl'. reflexivity. Qed.
(** For comparison, here are informal proofs of these two theorems:
_Theorem_: For all lists [l1] and [l2],
[length (l1 ++ l2) = length l1 + length l2].
_Proof_: By induction on [l1].
- First, suppose [l1 = []]. We must show
length ([] ++ l2) = length [] + length l2,
which follows directly from the definitions of
[length] and [++].
- Next, suppose [l1 = n::l1'], with
length (l1' ++ l2) = length l1' + length l2.
We must show
length ((n::l1') ++ l2) = length (n::l1') + length l2).
This follows directly from the definitions of [length] and [++]
together with 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 ((rev l') ++ [n]) = S (length l')
which, by the previous lemma, is the same as
length (rev l') + length [n] = S (length l').
This follows directly from the induction hypothesis and the
definition of [length]. [] *)
(** 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 (which we can easily work 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
like this: *)
(** _Theorem_:
For all lists [l], [length (rev l) = length l].
_Proof_: First, observe that [length (l ++ [n]) = S (length l)]
for any [l] (this follows by a straightforward induction on [l]).
The main property again follows by 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 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 our
present purposes. *)
(* ================================================================= *)
(** ** [Search] *)
(** We've seen that proofs can make use of other theorems we've
already proved, e.g., using [rewrite]. But in order to refer to a
theorem, we need to know its name! Indeed, it is often hard even
to remember what theorems have been proven, much less what they
are called.
Coq's [Search] command is quite helpful with this. Typing [Search
foo] into your .v file and evaluating this line will cause Coq to
display a list of all theorems involving [foo]. For example, try
uncommenting the following line to see a list of theorems that we
have proved about [rev]: *)
(* Search rev. *)
(** Keep [Search] in mind as you do the following exercises and
throughout the rest of the book; it can save you a lot of time!
If you are using ProofGeneral, you can run [Search] with
[C-c C-a C-a]. Pasting its response into your buffer can be
accomplished with [C-c C-;]. *)
