Nonempty types #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file proves a few extra facts about nonempty
, which is defined in core Lean.
Main declarations #
nonempty.some
: Extracts a witness of nonemptiness using choice. Takesnonempty α
explicitly.classical.arbitrary
: Extracts a witness of nonemptiness using choice. Takesnonempty α
as an instance.
Using classical.choice
, lifts a (Prop
-valued) nonempty
instance to a (Type
-valued)
inhabited
instance. classical.inhabited_of_nonempty
already exists, in
core/init/classical.lean
, but the assumption is not a type class argument,
which makes it unsuitable for some applications.
Equations
@[protected, reducible]
Using classical.choice
, extracts a term from a nonempty
type.
