Topic: functions with pairs as arguments
Jeremy Teitelbaum (Dec 08 2021 at 19:44):
I want a function that takes an ordered pair of natural numbers and returns their sum. Why is this wrong?
def mysum (x : ℕ × ℕ ) : ℕ := x.1 + x.2
Rob Lewis (Dec 08 2021 at 19:45):
Looks right to me
Jeremy Teitelbaum (Dec 08 2021 at 19:47):
function expected at
x.snd
term has type
ℕ
Additional information:
/home/jet08013/GitHub/formalising-mathematics/src/experiments.lean:26:34: context: switched to simple application elaboration procedure because failed to use expected type to elaborate it, error message
too many arguments

Sounds like there is something below the line which interferes
Jeremy Teitelbaum (Dec 08 2021 at 19:48):
Maybe I'm invoking it incorrectly? How should I call this function?
Jeremy Teitelbaum (Dec 08 2021 at 19:50):
I'm an idiot. I forgot #eval and just wrote ff(2,3) below it....
Johan Commelin (Dec 08 2021 at 19:56):
In case something like this happens again, note that you can always write a .
or #exit
on the line below your lemma to make sure Lean doesn't only looks at line n
that you care about and doesn't get confused by whatever is written on line n+1
and onwards.
