Topic: Type dependent notation
Olonbayar Temuulen (Dec 17 2023 at 10:00):
Can anyone give me a good reference to understand what it means to "The meaning of this notation is type dependent"?

Can you give some context on where you saw that sentence?

I usually see that pop up when I hover over +
or •
or something. Basically means e.g. +
needs to be defined for the specific types A and B if you are trying to add a: A
and b: B
.
You'll need to learn about: https://lean-lang.org/theorem_proving_in_lean/type_classes.html

(I think the infoview should technically know which e.g. HSMul
is being used, but I don't remember how to access that)
