Syntax quotation for (sequences of) commands.
The identical syntax for term quotations takes priority,
so ambiguous quotations like `($x $y)

not two commands. Use `($x:command $y:command)
instead.
Multiple commands will be put in a `null

but a single command will not (so that you can directly
match against a quotation in a command kind's elaborator).

In Lean, every concrete type other than the universes
and every type constructor other than dependent arrows
is an instance of a general family of type constructions known as inductive types.
It is remarkable that it is possible to construct a substantial edifice of mathematics
based on nothing more than the type universes, dependent arrow types, and inductive types;
everything else follows from those.
Intuitively, an inductive type is built up from a specified list of constructors.
For example, List α
is the list of elements of type α
, and is defined as follows:
inductive List (α : Type u) where
| nil
| cons (head : α) (tail : List α)
A list of elements of type α
is either the empty list, nil
,
or an element head : α
followed by a list tail : List α
.
See Inductive types
for more information.

namespace <id>
opens a section with label <id>
that influences naming and name resolution inside
the section:
- Declarations names are prefixed:
def seventeen : ℕ := 17
inside a namespaceNat
is given the full nameNat.seventeen
. - Names introduced by
export
declarations are also prefixed by the identifier. - All names starting with
<id>.
become available in the namespace without the prefix. These names are preferred over names introduced by outer namespaces oropen
. - Within a namespace, declarations can be
protected
, which excludes them from the effects of opening the namespace.
As with section
, namespaces can be nested and the scope of a namespace is terminated by a
corresponding end <id>
or the end of the file.
namespace
also acts like section
in delimiting the scope of variable
, open
, and other scoped commands.
Instances For
Declares one or more typed variables, or modifies whether already-declared variables are implicit.
Introduces variables that can be used in definitions within the same namespace
or section
block.
When a definition mentions a variable, Lean will add it as an argument of the definition. This is
useful in particular when writing many definitions that have parameters in common (see below for an
example).
Variable declarations have the same flexibility as regular function parameters. In particular they
can be [explicit, implicit][binder docs], or [instance implicit][tpil classes] (in which case they
can be anonymous). This can be changed, for instance one can turn explicit variable x
into an
implicit one with variable {x}
. Note that currently, you should avoid changing how variables are
bound and declare new variables at the same time; see [issue 2789] for more on this topic.
In theorem bodies (i.e. proofs), variables are not included based on usage in order to ensure that
changes to the proof cannot change the statement of the overall theorem. Instead, variables are only
available to the proof if they have been mentioned in the theorem header or in an include
command
or are instance implicit and depend only on such variables.
See Variables and Sections from Theorem Proving in Lean for a more detailed discussion.
(Variables and Sections on Theorem Proving in Lean) [tpil classes]: https://lean-lang.org/theorem_proving_in_lean4/type_classes.html (Type classes on Theorem Proving in Lean) [binder docs]: https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Lean/Expr.html#Lean.BinderInfo (Documentation for the BinderInfo type) [issue 2789]: https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/2789 (Issue 2789 on github)
Examples #
section
variable
{α : Type u} -- implicit
(a : α) -- explicit
[instBEq : BEq α] -- instance implicit, named
[Hashable α] -- instance implicit, anonymous
def isEqual (b : α) : Bool :=
a == b
#check isEqual
-- isEqual.{u} {α : Type u} (a : α) [instBEq : BEq α] (b : α) : Bool
variable
{a} -- `a` is implicit now
def eqComm {b : α} := a == b ↔ b == a
#check eqComm
-- eqComm.{u} {α : Type u} {a : α} [instBEq : BEq α] {b : α} : Prop
end
The following shows a typical use of variable
to factor out definition arguments:
variable (Src : Type)
structure Logger where
trace : List (Src × String)
#check Logger
-- Logger (Src : Type) : Type
namespace Logger
-- switch `Src : Type` to be implicit until the `end Logger`
variable {Src}
def empty : Logger Src where
trace := []
#check empty
-- Logger.empty {Src : Type} : Logger Src
variable (log : Logger Src)
def len :=
log.trace.length
#check len
-- Logger.len {Src : Type} (log : Logger Src) : Nat
variable (src : Src) [BEq Src]
-- at this point all of `log`, `src`, `Src` and the `BEq` instance can all become arguments
def filterSrc :=
log.trace.filterMap
fun (src', str') => if src' == src then some str' else none
#check filterSrc
-- Logger.filterSrc {Src : Type} (log : Logger Src) (src : Src) [inst✝ : BEq Src] : List String
def lenSrc :=
log.filterSrc src |>.length
#check lenSrc
-- Logger.lenSrc {Src : Type} (log : Logger Src) (src : Src) [inst✝ : BEq Src] : Nat
end Logger
The following example demonstrates availability of variables in proofs:
variable
{α : Type} -- available in the proof as indirectly mentioned through `a`
[ToString α] -- available in the proof as `α` is included
(a : α) -- available in the proof as mentioned in the header
{β : Type} -- not available in the proof
[ToString β] -- not available in the proof
theorem ex : a = a := rfl
After elaboration of the proof, the following warning will be generated to highlight the unused hypothesis:
included section variable '[ToString α]' is not used in 'ex', consider excluding it
In such cases, the offending variable declaration should be moved down or into a section so that only theorems that do depend on it follow it until the end of the section.
Instances For
Declares one or more universe variables.
universe u v
Prop
, Type
, Type u
and Sort u
are types that classify other types, also known as
universes. In Type u
and Sort u
, the variable u
stands for the universe's level, and a
universe at level u
can only classify universes that are at levels lower than u
. For more
details on type universes, please refer to the relevant chapter of Theorem Proving in Lean.
Just as type arguments allow polymorphic definitions to be used at many different types, universe
parameters, represented by universe variables, allow a definition to be used at any required level.
While Lean mostly handles universe levels automatically, declaring them explicitly can provide more
control when writing signatures. The universe
keyword allows the declared universe variables to be
used in a collection of definitions, and Lean will ensure that these definitions use them
consistently.
/- Explicit type-universe parameter. -/
def id₁.{u} (α : Type u) (a : α) := a
/- Implicit type-universe parameter, equivalent to `id₁`.
Requires option `autoImplicit true`, which is the default. -/
def id₂ (α : Type u) (a : α) := a
/- Explicit standalone universe variable declaration, equivalent to `id₁` and `id₂`. -/
universe u
def id₃ (α : Type u) (a : α) := a
On a more technical note, using a universe variable only in the right-hand side of a definition causes an error if the universe has not been declared previously.
def L₁.{u} := List (Type u)
-- def L₂ := List (Type u) -- error: `unknown universe level 'u'`
universe u
def L₃ := List (Type u)
Examples #
universe u v w
structure Pair (α : Type u) (β : Type v) : Type (max u v) where
a : α
b : β
#check Pair.{v, w}
-- Pair : Type v → Type w → Type (max v w)

are visible within the current section

make [scoped instances], notations, and attributes from a different namespace available.
The open
command can be used in a few different ways:
open Some.Namespace.Path1 Some.Namespace.Path2
makes all non-protected names inSome.Namespace.Path1
andSome.Namespace.Path2
available without the prefix, so thatSome.Namespace.Path1.x
