Topic: Make product argument of lambda function explicit


Nicolò Cavalleri (Dec 31 2022 at 20:04):

I do not remember if there is a way of writing λ x : ℕ × ℕ, x.1 + x.2 as something like λ ⟨a, b⟩ : ℕ × ℕ, a + b

You can but (unfortunately) you shouldn't because the latter actually means \lam p, match p with (a, b) -> a + b

Reid Barton (Dec 31 2022 at 20:08):

which is propositionally equal, but usually a worse definition
