Description
Here's the quote:
An alternative way to represent a positive number is as the successor of some Nat. Replace the definition of Pos with a structure whose constructor is named succ that contains a Nat:
structure Pos where
succ ::
pred : Nat
Define instances of Add, Mul, ToString, and OfNat that allow this version of Pos to be used conveniently.
I'm not sure what pred : Nat is for, isn't
structure PosAnswer where
succ : Nat \imp PosAnswer
enough to represent positive natural numbers? Nat starts from zero , the above PosAnswer would start from one.
I saw the constructor :: notation being used in Lean , like
structure And (a b : Prop) : Prop where
/-- `And.intro : a → b → a ∧ b` is the constructor for the And operation. -/
intro ::
but I'm not sure what in means in structure Pos
