Hello, quick question if anybody has a minute...
What is [pred y | y == x]? It is on page 144, expression is Notation count_mem x := (count [pred y | y == x]).

view this post on Zulip Andrey Klaus (May 18 2021 at 08:09):

I see in general that this "count_mem x" is thing of type t -> seq t-> nat. I'm interested in comment about [pred y | y == x]. I'm not sure I understand this notation.

It's a notation for the (bool-valued) predicate fun y => y == x defined in ssrbool

Inductive ordinal (n : nat) : Type := Ordinal m of m < n.
Notation "''I_' n" := (ordinal n).
Coercion nat_of_ord i := let: @Ordinal m _ := i in m.

String Coercion nat_of_ord i := let: @Ordinal m _ := i in m. gives me an error: Error: The constructor Ordinal (in type ordinal) expects 2 arguments..
Speaking roughtly, I think understand how should it work. But there is also the lemma val_ord_enum below nat_of_ord which rises an error too and I would like go through its proof. If anybody have quick fix, could you put it here please. If not, its not a big deal.

Hum, looks like a typo. Ordinal has 3 arguments, n m and (p : m < n). Maybe it is defiend in a section in the actual mathcomp, and we made a mistake while testing the code in the book.

I mean, it should be let: @Ordinal _ m _ := i in m.

Oh no, wait. It's the Set Asymmetric Patterns thing. I guess it is on because you imported mathcomp, but we tested the code with a different header, which does not set it.

the next string namely

The term "nat_of_ord" has type "forall n : nat, 'I_n -> nat" while it is expected to have type "nat -> ?T" (cannot instantiate "?T" because "n" is not in its scope).

Thank you.
To give a bit more details, first small problem for me in Chapter 7 was in the 2nd line of code (p.138)

From mathcomp Require Import all_ssreflect.
Set Implicit Arguments.
Unset Strict Implicit.
Unset Printing Implicit Defensive.

Structure tuple_of n T := Tuple { tval :> seq T; _ : size tval == n }.
Notation "n .-tuple T" := (tuple_of n T).

Just to clarify, I create new file for each new chapter of the book and then I copy headers from the very first chapter. So, this one is named Ch7.v and you can see above what it contains.
Coq answers me next when I give him code above Error: A left-recursive notation must have an explicit level.
I changed last line to Notation "n .-tuple T" := (tuple_of n T) (at level 0). and it works.

But some other code blocks in the book below give an errors to me too. In example (p.139),

From mathcomp Require Import all_ssreflect.
Set Implicit Arguments.
Unset Strict Implicit.
Unset Printing Implicit Defensive.

Structure tuple_of n T := Tuple { tval :> seq T; _ : size tval == n }.
Notation "n .-tuple T" := (tuple_of n T) (at level 0).

Notation "X (*...*)" := (let x := X in let y := _ in x)  (at level 100, format "X (*...*)").
Notation "[LHS ’of’ equation ]" := (let LHS := _ in let _infer_LHS := equation : LHS = _ in LHS)  (at level 4).
Notation "[unify X ’with’ Y ]" := (let unification := erefl _ : X = Y in True).

Check forall T n (t : n.-tuple T),
    let LHS := [LHS of size_tuple _] in
    let RDX := size (rev t) in
    [unify LHS with RDX].

says me Error: Syntax error: [term level 200] expected after ':=' (in [binder_constr]).
I'm not sure how the book reader is intended to organize his code. I think this can be an issue.

Notice how the notation is defined in the ring_scope scope. So, you either need to type (\tr (A *m B))%R or do Open Scope ring_scope.

Code is

Here we have code for tnth https://math-comp.github.io/mcb/snippets/ch7_4.html (line 42).
I would like to put next string on line 44 (so, right after tnth definition): Eval compute in tnth ([:: 1; 2; 3]) 1.
After reading the book I had an impression that this should just work (it is possible it is wrong impression).
Question: should Eval compute in tnth ([:: 1; 2; 3]) 1. work and if yes - how to make it work?

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Jun 20 2021 at 15:49):

No, you have to write something like

Eval compute in tnth (@Tuple 3 nat [:: 1; 2; 3] isT) (@Ordinal 3 1 isT).

I see why you thought so, but the automatic "enrichment" works if something is already a tuple, and is projected down to a sequence in order to apply a sequence operation. Here [:: 1;2;3] is a sequence, plain and simple. One needs to wrap it into a constructor and prove a property a bout the length, that in this case is trivial (isT proves "true = true"). Ditto for the ordinal, 1 is a nat, you have to prove first that is is smaller than 3 in order to use it with tnth.

Said that, tuples are useful mostly to reason about abstract sequences with an invariant on the length. Not on concrete ones.

If you feel like the book should be improved to clarify all that, please open an issue on github.

Thank you. I see in general that i didnt understand this part.. but in a bit more details, if you have a minute, shouldn't the problem like Tuple _ _ ~ seq nat arise when I write tnth _ [::1;2;3]?

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Jun 20 2021 at 18:00):

Yes, precisely the type error comes from tuple_of _ _ =?= seq nat. This does not fall in the domain of Canonical Structures (e.g. there is no projection involved, in particular no occurrence of tval). It could be covered by Coercions, but at the time of writing the elaborator of Coq is too limited. I mean, the term [:: 1;2;3] has type seq nat but is expected to have type tuple_of _ _: one could apply this "cast" code @Tuple _ _ <here> isT every time this problem pops up, and elaborate [:: 1;2;3] into @Tuple _ _ [:: 1;2;3] isT which has the expected type tuple_of _ _ (and infer the _ running type inference again).

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias , thank you, it looks very nice.
@Enrico Tassi Thank you very much for the explanation. As for book, the 2nd part of book was rather complicated for me. It is possible that I'm not a part of target audience of the 2nd part of the book (my experience in Coq is just the first 3 parts of software foundations). I think the 2nd part of the book was hard for me because there are many technical details and not enough for me examples how to use all of this. Adding this thing will make book a bit more informative, but also a bit more detailed. So, I'm not sure if book does need to mention this or it does not. Example of code I think needs to be added still, but to the first part of book where examples of [:: 1; 2] notation are given and in the Emilio's form. I think it is rather easy to get the idea of how it can be used when discuss notations. I will open an issue.

Indeed, thanks @Andrey Klaus ; note tho that in general computing with tuples and ordinals is not going to work very well, my understanding is that math-comp was just not designed to do that

@Enrico Tassi I've changed my opinion a bit. Actually, the book already contains most of this information. So, it is not a big amount of information to add. And I think that outlining the difference between coercions and canonical structures will help for better understanding of the both of them. So, I've created an issue.

Thanks for the interest in the library! :) Technically, this is a question about the underlying FCSL-PCM library, because that's where validity and heaps are defined.

If you have something like Lemma valid_swap {A B} x y (X : A) (Y : B) : valid (x :-> Y \+ y :-> X) -> valid (x :-> X \+ y :-> Y). then the quickest way to prove this is by fully unrolling all validity conditions: rewrite !validPtUn !validPt !domPt.
