someone pls help me on discord with my little lean problems. My discord is DiamondJinxMain#1729 please add me. I could pay you too

Henrik Böving (Feb 28 2022 at 22:22):

Just ask here, nobody needs to be paid to help you here, unless its an academic assignment in which case you will have even less success here than on Discord most likely

kctron sub (Feb 28 2022 at 22:23):

can you help me are you good at solving problems

kctron sub (Feb 28 2022 at 22:23):

it is not for school or anything

Henrik Böving (Feb 28 2022 at 22:24):

Again, what is your issue?

kctron sub (Feb 28 2022 at 22:24):

solving problems in general i dont know how to go about it. here is an example:

section
variable A : Type
variable f : A → A
variable P : A → Prop
variable h : ∀x, P x → P (f x)

example : ∀y, P y → P (f (f y)) :=

sorry
end

You should give some more context. (also #backticks) Have you looked at #tpil ? This covers a lot of the basics for how to write proof terms in lean.

Mario Carneiro (Feb 28 2022 at 22:29):

Do you understand the problem statement? Do know how to solve the problem informally? Do you know the syntax for writing proofs?

kctron sub (Feb 28 2022 at 22:38):

Mario Carneiro (Feb 28 2022 at 22:49):

I encourage you to start with #tpil then

Mario Carneiro (Feb 28 2022 at 22:49):

or the natural number game

Mario Carneiro (Feb 28 2022 at 22:51):

This is a good place to get help on specific questions, but if you need a tutorial from scratch then you are better off trying a book like #tpil and coming back once you get stuck on something
