Init.Tactics

with_annotate_state stx t annotates the lexical range of stx : Syntax with the initial and final state of running tactic t.

Equations
  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For

    Introduces one or more hypotheses, optionally naming and/or pattern-matching them. For each hypothesis to be introduced, the remaining main goal's target type must be a let or function type.

    • intro by itself introduces one anonymous hypothesis, which can be accessed by e.g. assumption.
    • intro x y introduces two hypotheses and names them. Individual hypotheses can be anonymized via _, or matched against a pattern:
      -- ... ⊢ α × β → ...
      intro (a, b)
      -- ..., a : α, b : β ⊢ ...
      
    • Alternatively, intro can be combined with pattern matching much like fun:
      intro
      | n + 1, 0 => tac
      | ...
      
    Equations
    • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
    Instances For

      Introduces zero or more hypotheses, optionally naming them.

      • intros is equivalent to repeatedly applying intro until the goal is not an obvious candidate for intro, which is to say that so long as the goal is a let or a pi type (e.g. an implication, function, or universal quantifier), the intros tactic will introduce an anonymous hypothesis. This tactic does not unfold definitions.

      • intros x y ... is equivalent to intro x y ..., introducing hypotheses for each supplied argument and unfolding definitions as necessary. Each argument can be either an identifier or a _. An identifier indicates a name to use for the corresponding introduced hypothesis, and a _ indicates that the hypotheses should be introduced anonymously.

      Basic properties:

      def AllEven (f : Nat → Nat) := ∀ n, f n % 2 = 0
      
      -- Introduces the two obvious hypotheses automatically
      example : ∀ (f : Nat → Nat), AllEven f → AllEven (fun k => f (k + 1)) := by
        intros
        /- Tactic state
           f✝ : NatNat
           a✝ : AllEven f✝
           ⊢ AllEven fun k => f✝ (k + 1) -/
        sorry
      
      -- Introduces exactly two hypotheses, naming only the first
      example : ∀ (f : Nat → Nat), AllEven f → AllEven (fun k => f (k + 1)) := by
        intros g _
        /- Tactic state
           g : NatNat
           a✝ : AllEven g
           ⊢ AllEven fun k => g (k + 1) -/
        sorry
      
      -- Introduces exactly three hypotheses, which requires unfolding `AllEven`
      example : ∀ (f : Nat → Nat), AllEven f → AllEven (fun k => f (k + 1)) := by
        intros f h n
        /- Tactic state
           f : NatNat

                    contradiction closes the main goal if its hypotheses are "trivially contradictory".

                    • Inductive type/family with no applicable constructors

                      Changes the goal to False, retaining as much information as possible:

                      • If the goal is False, do nothing.
                      • If the goal is an implication or a function type, introduce the argument and restart. (In particular, if the goal is x ≠ y, introduce x = y.)
                      • Otherwise, for a propositional goal P, replace it with ¬ ¬ P (attempting to find a Decidable instance, but otherwise falling back to working classically) and introduce ¬ P.
                      • For a non-propositional goal use False.elim.

                      Instances For

                        apply e tries to match the current goal against the conclusion of e's type. If it succeeds, then the tactic returns as many subgoals as the number of premises that have not been fixed by type inference or type class resolution. Non-dependent premises are added before dependent ones.

                        The apply tactic uses higher-order pattern matching, type class resolution, and first-order unification with dependent types.

                            refine e behaves like exact e, except that named (?x) or unnamed (?_) holes in e that are not solved by unification with the main goal's target type are converted into new goals, using the hole's name, if any, as the goal case name.

This is intended for stubbing out incomplete parts of a proof while still having a syntactically correct proof skeleton. Lean will give a warning whenever a proof uses sorry, so you aren't likely to miss it, but you can double check if a theorem depends on sorry by using #print axioms my_thm and looking for sorryAx in the axiom list.

If e is preceded by left arrow ( or <-), the rewrite is applied in the reverse direction. If e is a defined constant, then the equational theorems associated with e are used. This provides a convenient way to unfold e.

                                                                                                                • rewrite [e₁, ..., eₙ] applies the given rules sequentially.

In the latter case, a turnstile or |- can also be used, to signify the target of the goal.

                                                                                                                Using rw (config := {occs := .pos L}) [e], where L : List Nat, you can control which "occurrences" are rewritten. (This option applies to each rule, so usually this will only be used with a single rule.) Occurrences count from 1. At each allowed occurrence, arguments of the rewrite rule e may be instantiated, restricting which later rewrites can be found. (Disallowed occurrences do not result in instantiation.) {occs := .neg L} allows skipping specified occurrences.

That means that if c is a constructor of an inductive datatype, and if (c t₁) and (c t₂) are two terms that are equal then t₁ and t₂ are equal too. If q is a proof of a statement of conclusion t₁ = t₂, then injection applies injectivity to derive the equality of all arguments of t₁ and t₂ placed in the same positions. For example, from (a::b) = (c::d) we derive a=c and b=d. To use this tactic t₁ and t₂ should be constructor applications of the same constructor. Given h : a::b = c::d, the tactic injection h adds two new hypothesis with types a = c and b = d to the main goal. The tactic injection h with h₁ h₂ uses the names h₁ and h₂ to name the new hypotheses.

If an hᵢ is a defined constant f, then the equational lemmas associated with f are used. This provides a convenient way to unfold f.

If the type of an element in the local context depends on x, that element is reverted and reintroduced afterward, so that the inductive hypothesis incorporates that hypothesis as well.

Here the names a and ih₁ are chosen automatically and are not accessible. You can use with to provide the variables names for each constructor.

For a match expression with n cases, the split tactic generates at most n subgoals.

Note that the introduced hypothesis is unnamed, and is commonly renamed used the case or next tactics.

It is useful when working on the middle of a complex proofs, and less messy than commenting the remainder of the proof.

The tactic adds a new hypothesis with the same name h := h a₁ ... aₙ and tries to clear the previous one.

The optional parameter is the depth of the recursive applications. This is useful when congr is too aggressive in breaking down the goal. For example, given ⊢ f (g (x + y)) = f (g (y + x)), congr produces the goals ⊢ x = y and ⊢ y = x, while congr 2 produces the intended ⊢ x + y = y + x.

Unlike assumption, it first pre-processes the goal and each hypothesis to move casts as far outwards as possible, so it can be used in more situations.

For each local hypothesis h, it also normalizes h with norm_cast and tries to use that to close the goal.

Therefore even in situations where non-terminal simp calls are discouraged (because of fragility), norm_cast is considered to be safe. It also has special handling of numerals.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • exact_mod_cast for exact and apply_mod_cast for apply. Writing exact_mod_cast h and apply_mod_cast h will normalize casts in the goal and h before using exact h or apply h.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • rw_mod_cast for rw. It applies norm_cast between rewrites.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • assumption_mod_cast for assumption. This is effectively norm_cast at *; assumption, but more efficient. It normalizes casts in the goal and, for every hypothesis h in the context, it will try to normalize casts in h and use exact h.

This uses norm_cast lemmas in the forward direction. For example, ↑(a + b) will be written to ↑a + ↑b.

(Adding or removing local hypotheses may not be well-behaved when starting with multiple goals.)

Defaults to .default, but it is often useful to change to .reducible, so semireducible definitions will not be unfolded when trying to apply a lemma.

Both apply_assumption and apply_rules are implemented via these hooks.

By default apply_assumption will also try rfl, trivial, congrFun, and congrArg. If you don't want these, or don't want to use all hypotheses, use apply_assumption only [...]. You can use apply_assumption [-h] to omit a local hypothesis. You can use apply_assumption using [a₁, ...] to use all lemmas which have been labelled with the attributes aᵢ (these attributes must be created using register_label_attr).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        apply_assumption will use consequences of local hypotheses obtained via symm.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        If apply_assumption fails, it will call exfalso and try again. Thus if there is an assumption of the form P → ¬ Q, the new tactic state will have two goals, P and Q.

The options supported are the same as for solve_by_elim (and include all the options for apply).

If apply generates new goals, apply_rules iteratively tries to solve those goals. You can use apply_rules [-h] to omit a local hypothesis.

These can be disabled, as can local hypotheses, by using apply_rules only [...].

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          You can use apply_rules using [a₁, ...] to use all lemmas which have been labelled with the attributes aᵢ (these attributes must be created using register_label_attr).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          You can pass a further configuration via the syntax apply_rules (config := {...}). The options supported are the same as for solve_by_elim (and include all the options for apply).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          apply_rules will try calling symm on hypotheses and exfalso on the goal as needed. This can be disabled with apply_rules (config := {symm := false, exfalso := false}).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          You can bound the iteration depth using the syntax apply_rules (config := {maxDepth := n}).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Unlike solve_by_elim, apply_rules does not perform backtracking, and greedily applies a lemma from the list until it gets stuck.

We call theorems tagged with the simp attribute "simp theorems" or "simp lemmas". Lean maintains a database/index containing all active simp theorems. Here is an example of a simp theorem.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          This simp theorem instructs the simplifier to replace instances of the term a ≠ b (e.g. x + 0 ≠ y) with Not (a = b) (e.g., Not (x + 0 = y)). The simplifier applies simp theorems in one direction only: if A = B is a simp theorem, then simp replaces As with Bs, but it doesn't replace Bs with As. Hence a simp theorem should have the property that its right-hand side is "simpler" than its left-hand side. In particular, = and should not be viewed as symmetric operators in this situation. The following would be a terrible simp theorem (if it were even allowed):

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          @[simp] lemma mul_right_inv_bad (a : G) : 1 = a * a⁻¹ := ...
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Replacing 1 with a * a⁻¹ is not a sensible default direction to travel. Even worse would be a theorem that causes expressions to grow without bound, causing simp to loop forever.

We say it performs a bottom-up simplification. You can instruct the simplifier to apply a theorem before its sub-expressions have been simplified by using the modifier . Here is an example

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          @[simp↓] theorem not_and_eq (p q : Prop) : (¬ (p ∧ q)) = (¬p ∨ ¬q) :=

The equational theorems of function are applied at very low priority (100 and below). If there are several with the same priority, it is uses the "most recent one". Example:

It uses squash lemmas to clean up the result.

The automatic classification can be overridden by giving an optional elim, move, or squash parameter to the attribute.
