Integer Type, Coercions, and Notation

This file defines the Int type as well as

• coercions, conversions, and compatibility with numeric literals,
• basic arithmetic operations add/sub/mul/div/mod/pow,
• a few Nat-related operations such as negOfNat and subNatNat,
• relations </≤/≥/>, the NonNeg property and min/max,
• decidability of equality, relations and NonNeg.

inductive Int : Type

The type of integers. It is defined as an inductive type based on the natural number type Nat featuring two constructors: "a natural number is an integer", and "the negation of a successor of a natural number is an integer". The former represents integers between 0 (inclusive) and ∞, and the latter integers between -∞ and -1 (inclusive).

This type is special-cased by the compiler. The runtime has a special representation for Int which stores "small" signed numbers directly, and larger numbers use an arbitrary precision "bignum" library (usually GMP). A "small number" is an integer that can be encoded with 63 bits (31 bits on 32-bits architectures).

• ofNat: Nat → Int

  A natural number is an integer (0 to ∞).

• negSucc: Nat → Int

  The negation of the successor of a natural number is an integer (-1 to -∞).
