# Special shapes for limits in Type.

The general shape (co)limits defined in category_theory.limits.types are intended for use through the limits API, and the actual implementation should mostly be considered "sealed".

In this file, we provide definitions of the "standard" special shapes of limits in Type, giving the expected definitional implementation:

• the terminal object is punit
• the binary product of X and Y is X × Y
• the product of a family f : J → Type is Π j, f j.

Because these are not intended for use with the has_limit API, we instead construct terms of limit_data.

As an example, when setting up the monoidal category structure on Type we use the types_has_terminal and types_has_binary_products instances.

= α b x)

A restatement of types.map_π_apply that uses pi.π and pi.map.
