(** * Poly: Polymorphism and Higher-Order Functions *)
(** 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).
*)
Require Export Lists.
(* ###################################################### *)
(** * 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 : boollist
| bool_cons : bool -> boollist -> 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 : list X
| cons : X -> list X -> 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constructor has been replaced by an arbitrary type [X], a binding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[natlist] in the types of the constructors have been replaced by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 things of type [X]. *)
(** With this definition, when we use the constructors [nil] and
[cons] to build lists, we need to tell Coq the type of the
elements in the lists we are building -- that is, [nil] and [cons]
are now _polymorphic constructors_. Observe the types of these
constructors: *)
Check nil.
(* ===> nil : forall X : Type, list X *)
Check cons.
(* ===> cons : forall X : Type, X -> list X -> list X *)
(** The "[forall X]" in these types can be read as an additional
argument to the constructors that determines the expected types of
the arguments that follow. When [nil] and [cons] are used, these
arguments are supplied in the same way as the others. For
example, the list containing [2] and [1] is written like this: *)
Check (cons nat 2 (cons nat 1 (nil nat))).
(** (We've gone back to writing [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 (or "generic")
versions of all the list-processing functions that we wrote
before. Here is [length], for example: *)
Fixpoint length (X:Type) (l:list X) : nat :=
match l with
| nil => 0
| cons h t => S (length X t)
end.
(** Note that the uses of [nil] and [cons] in [match] patterns
do not require any type annotations: Coq already knows that the list
[l] contains elements of type [X], so there's no reason to include
[X] in the pattern. (More precisely, the type [X] is a parameter
of the whole definition of [list], not of the individual
constructors. We'll come back to this point later.)
As with [nil] and [cons], we can use [length] by applying it first
to a type and then to its list argument: *)
Example test_length1 :
length nat (cons nat 1 (cons nat 2 (nil nat))) = 2.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** To use our length with other kinds of lists, we simply
instantiate it with an appropriate type parameter: *)
Example test_length2 :
length bool (cons bool true (nil bool)) = 1.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
(** Let's close this subsection 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 X h (app X t l2)
end.
Fixpoint snoc (X:Type) (l:list X) (v:X) : (list X) :=
match l with
| nil => cons X v (nil X)
| cons h t => cons X h (snoc X t v)
end.
Fixpoint rev (X:Type) (l:list X) : list X :=
match l with
| nil => nil X
| cons h t => snoc X (rev X t) h
end.
Example test_rev1 :
rev nat (cons nat 1 (cons nat 2 (nil nat)))
= (cons nat 2 (cons nat 1 (nil nat))).
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
Example test_rev2:
rev bool (nil bool) = nil bool.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.
Module MumbleBaz.
(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (mumble_grumble) *)
(** Consider the following two inductively defined types. *)
Inductive mumble : Type :=
| a : mumble
| b : mumble -> nat -> mumble
| c : mumble.
Inductive grumble (X:Type) : Type :=
| d : mumble -> grumble X
| e : X -> grumble X.
(** Which of the following are well-typed elements of [grumble X] for
some type [X]?
- [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 *)
[] *)
(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (baz_num_elts) *)
(** Consider the following inductive definition: *)
Inductive baz : Type :=
| x : baz -> baz
| y : baz -> bool -> baz.
(** How _many_ elements does the type [baz] have?
(* FILL IN HERE *)
[] *)
End MumbleBaz.
(* ###################################################### *)
(** *** Type Annotation Inference *)
(** Let's write the definition of [app] again, but this time we won't
specify the types of any of the arguments. Will Coq still accept
it? *)
Fixpoint app' X l1 l2 : list X :=
match l1 with
| nil => l2
| cons h t => cons X h (app' X t l2)
end.
(** Indeed it will. Let's see what type Coq has assigned to [app']: *)
Check app'.
(* ===> forall X : Type, list X -> list X -> list X *)
Check app.
(* ===> forall X : Type, list X -> list X -> list X *)
(** It has exactly the same type type as [app]. Coq was able to
use a process called _type inference_ to deduce what the types of
[X], [l1], and [l2] 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 [l1] with [nil] and [cons] means it must be a [list]; 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. You should try to find a balance in your own code between
too many type annotations (so many that they 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 *)
(** Whenever we 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 [length] function
above must pass along the type [X]. But just like providing
explicit type annotations everywhere, this is heavy and verbose.
Since the second argument to [length] is a list of [X]s, 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 the "implicit argument"
[_], which can be read as "Please figure out for yourself what
type 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 -- and,
indeed, the two procedures rely on the same underlying mechanisms.
Instead of simply omitting the types of some arguments to a
function, like
app' X l1 l2 : list X :=
we can also replace the types with [_], like
app' (X : _) (l1 l2 : _) : list X :=
which tells Coq to attempt to infer the missing information, just
as with argument synthesis.
Using implicit arguments, the [length] function can be written
like this: *)
Fixpoint length' (X:Type) (l:list X) : nat :=
match l with
| nil => 0
| cons h t => S (length' _ t)
end.
(** In this instance, we don't save much by writing [_] instead of
[X]. But in many cases the difference can be significant. 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 argument synthesis to write this: *)
Definition list123' := cons _ 1 (cons _ 2 (cons _ 3 (nil _))).
(* ###################################################### *)
(** *** Implicit Arguments *)
(** If fact, we can go further. To avoid having to sprinkle [_]'s
throughout our programs, we can tell 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 brackets around any arguments to be
treated as implicit.
*)
Arguments nil {X}.
Arguments cons {X} _ _. (* use underscore for argument position that has no name *)
Arguments length {X} l.
Arguments app {X} l1 l2.
Arguments rev {X} l.
Arguments snoc {X} l v.
(* note: no _ arguments required... *)
Definition list123'' := cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil)).
Check (length list123'').
(** Alternatively, we can declare an argument to be implicit while
defining the function itself, by surrounding the argument in curly
braces. For example: *)
Fixpoint length'' {X:Type} (l:list X) : nat :=
match l with
| nil => 0
| cons h t => S (length'' t)
end.
(** (Note that we didn't even have to provide a type argument to
the recursive call to [length'']; indeed, it is invalid to provide
one.) We will use this style whenever possible, although we will
continue to use use explicit [Argument] declarations for
[Inductive] constructors. *)
(** 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 this time, even though
we've globally declared it to be [Implicit]. For example, suppose we
write this: *)
(* Definition mynil := nil. *)
(** If we uncomment this definition, Coq will give 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: *)

should be used when parsing types. This avoids a clash with the
multiplication symbol.) *)
(** A note of caution: 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; [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]. *)

treats functions as first-class citizens, allowing functions to be
passed as arguments to other functions, returned as results,
stored in data structures, etc.

_higher-order_ functions. Here's a simple one: *)
Definition doit3times {X:Type} (f:X->X) (n:X) : X :=

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_. *)

(** ** Digression: Currying *)
(** **** 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

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. It is also possible to
construct a function "on the fly" without declaring it at the top
level or giving it a name; this is analogous to the notation we've
been using for writing down constant lists, natural numbers, and
so on. *)

(* At this point, we'd like to do [rewrite -> H], since
[plus3 n] is definitionally equal to [3 + n]. However,
Coq doesn't automatically expand [plus3 n] to its
definition. *)
Abort.
(** The [unfold] tactic can be used to explicitly replace a
defined name by the right-hand side of its definition. *)
Theorem unfold_example : forall m n,
3 + n = m ->
plus3 n + 1 = m + 1.
Proof.
intros m n H.
unfold plus3.
rewrite -> H.
reflexivity. Qed.
(** Now we can prove a first property of [override]: If we
override a function at some argument [k] and then look up [k], we
get back the overridden value. *)
Theorem override_eq : forall {X:Type} x k (f:nat->X),
(override f k x) k = x.
Proof.
intros X x k f.
unfold override.
