Topic: Term Mode vs. Tactic Mode


William Sealy Gosset (Oct 12 2020 at 15:31):

When building out new areas of Mathlib, is there a preference for proofs in term mode or proofs in tactic mode?

Mario Carneiro (Oct 12 2020 at 15:33):

No, but most authors develop their own preference

Mario Carneiro (Oct 12 2020 at 15:34):

As a general rule of thumb, we use term mode for "one-liners" and tactic mode for longer proofs

William Sealy Gosset (Oct 12 2020 at 15:35):

@Mario Carneiro Thank you

I would like to learn to use Term Mode. Which texts/exercises are recommended?

All of it?

Yaël Dillies (May 18 2024 at 08:31):

No, more like Propositions and Proofs and Quantifiers and Equality

Ralf Stephan (May 18 2024 at 08:32):

Thank you.
