Topic: zip_with and map₂


Chris Hughes (Oct 13 2022 at 09:59):

At the moment we have two function on lists zip_with and map₂ that do the exact same thing, with lemmas proved about both of them. I guess we should get rid of one. Which one to get rid of?

map₂ makes more sense as a name to me.

Scott Morrison (Oct 13 2022 at 10:17):

It is called zipWith in Std4.

Kevin Buzzard (Oct 13 2022 at 10:49):

What's map₂ called? ;-)

It's also called zipWith in other languages, such as Haskell.

Reid Barton (Oct 13 2022 at 18:53):

As the name zip_with suggests, it is not analogous to docs#set.image2 (what could be the order of a set?)
