(** * Poly: Polymorphism and Higher-Order Functions *)

(** In this chapter we continue our development of basic 
    concepts of functional programming.  The critical new ideas are
    _polymorphism_ (abstracting functions over the types of the data
    they manipulate) and _higher-order functions_ (treating functions
    as data).

(** ** Polymorphic Lists *)

(** For the last couple of chapters, we've been working just
    with lists of numbers.  Obviously, interesting programs also need
    to be able to manipulate lists with elements from other types --
    lists of strings, lists of booleans, lists of lists, etc.  We
    _could_ just define a new inductive datatype for each of these,
    for example... *)

Inductive boollist : Type :=
  | bool_nil : boollist
  | bool_cons : bool -> boollist -> boollist.

(** ... but this would quickly become tedious, partly because we
    have to make up different constructor names for each datatype, but
    mostly because we would also need to define new versions of all
    our list manipulating functions ([length], [rev], etc.)  for each
    new datatype definition. *)

(** *** *)

(** To avoid all this repetition, Coq supports _polymorphic_
    inductive type definitions.  For example, here is a _polymorphic
    list_ datatype. *)

Inductive list (X:Type) : Type :=
  | nil : list X
  | cons : X -> list X -> list X.


(** This is exactly like the definition of [natlist] from the
    previous chapter, except that the [nat] argument to the [cons]
    constructor has been replaced by an arbitrary type [X], a binding
    for [X] has been added to the header, and the occurrences of
    [natlist] in the types of the constructors have been replaced by
    [list X].  (We can re-use the constructor names [nil] and [cons]
    because the earlier definition of [natlist] was inside of a
    [Module] definition that is now out of scope.) *)

(** What sort of thing is [list] itself?  One good way to think
    about it is that [list] is a _function_ from [Type]s to
    [Inductive] definitions; or, to put it another way, [list] is a
    function from [Type]s to [Type]s.  For any particular type [X],
    the type [list X] is an [Inductive]ly defined set of lists whose
    elements are things of type [X]. *)

(** With this definition, when we use the constructors [nil] and
    [cons] to build lists, we need to tell Coq the type of the
    elements in the lists we are building -- that is, [nil] and [cons]
    are now _polymorphic constructors_.  Observe the types of these
    constructors: *)

Check nil.
(* ===> nil : forall X : Type, list X *)
Check cons.
(* ===> cons : forall X : Type, X -> list X -> list X *)

(** The "[forall X]" in these types can be read as an additional
    argument to the constructors that determines the expected types of
    the arguments that follow.  When [nil] and [cons] are used, these
    arguments are supplied in the same way as the others.  For
    example, the list containing [2] and [1] is written like this: *)

Check (cons nat 2 (cons nat 1 (nil nat))).

(** (We've gone back to writing [nil] and [cons] explicitly here
    because we haven't yet defined the [ [] ] and [::] notations for
    the new version of lists.  We'll do that in a bit.) *)

(** We can now go back and make polymorphic (or "generic")
    versions of all the list-processing functions that we wrote
    before.  Here is [length], for example: *)

(** *** *)

Fixpoint length (X:Type) (l:list X) : nat :=
  match l with
  | nil      => 0
  | cons h t => S (length X t)
  end.

(** Note that the uses of [nil] and [cons] in [match] patterns
    do not require any type annotations: Coq already knows that the list
    [l] contains elements of type [X], so there's no reason to include
    [X] in the pattern.  (More precisely, the type [X] is a parameter
    of the whole definition of [list], not of the individual
    constructors.  We'll come back to this point later.)

    As with [nil] and [cons], we can use [length] by applying it first
    to a type and then to its list argument: *)

Example test_length1 :
    length nat (cons nat 1 (cons nat 2 (nil nat))) = 2.
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** To use our length with other kinds of lists, we simply
    instantiate it with an appropriate type parameter: *)

Example test_length2 :
    length bool (cons bool true (nil bool)) = 1.
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.


(** *** *)
(** Let's close this subsection by re-implementing a few other
    standard list functions on our new polymorphic lists: *)

Fixpoint app (X : Type) (l1 l2 : list X)
                : (list X) :=
  match l1 with
  | nil      => l2
  | cons h t => cons X h (app X t l2)
  end.

Fixpoint snoc (X:Type) (l:list X) (v:X) : (list X) :=
  match l with
  | nil      => cons X v (nil X)
  | cons h t => cons X h (snoc X t v)
  end.

Fixpoint rev (X:Type) (l:list X) : list X :=
  match l with
  | nil      => nil X
  | cons h t => snoc X (rev X t) h
  end.



Example test_rev1 :
    rev nat (cons nat 1 (cons nat 2 (nil nat)))
  = (cons nat 2 (cons nat 1 (nil nat))).
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

Example test_rev2:
  rev bool (nil bool) = nil bool.
Proof. reflexivity.  Qed.

Module MumbleBaz.
(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (mumble_grumble) *)
(** Consider the following two inductively defined types. *)

Inductive mumble : Type :=
  | a : mumble
  | b : mumble -> nat -> mumble
  | c : mumble.
Inductive grumble (X:Type) : Type :=
  | d : mumble -> grumble X
  | e : X -> grumble X.

(** Which of the following are well-typed elements of [grumble X] for
    some type [X]?
      - [d (b a 5)] not well-typed.
      - [d mumble (b a 5)] is well-typed.
      - [d bool (b a 5)] is well-typed.
      - [e bool true] is well-typed.
      - [e mumble (b c 0)] is well-typed
      - [e bool (b c 0)] not well-typed.
      - [c] not well typed

[] *)


(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (baz_num_elts) *)
(** Consider the following inductive definition: *)

Inductive baz : Type :=
   | x : baz -> baz
   | y : baz -> bool -> baz.

(** How _many_ elements does the type [baz] have? 
The type baz has no elements.  It is only inductively 
pointing to more baz, meaning it has no real elements
in the type.
[] *)

End MumbleBaz.

(* ###################################################### *)
(** *** Type Annotation Inference *)

(** Let's write the definition of [app] again, but this time we won't
    specify the types of any of the arguments. Will Coq still accept
    it? *)

Fixpoint app' X l1 l2 : list X :=
  match l1 with
  | nil      => l2
  | cons h t => cons X h (app' X t l2)
  end.

(** Indeed it will.  Let's see what type Coq has assigned to [app']: *)

Check app'.
(* ===> forall X : Type, list X -> list X -> list X *)
Check app.
(* ===> forall X : Type, list X -> list X -> list X *)

(** It has exactly the same type type as [app].  Coq was able to
    use a process called _type inference_ to deduce what the types of
    [X], [l1], and [l2] must be, based on how they are used.  For
    example, since [X] is used as an argument to [cons], it must be a
    [Type], since [cons] expects a [Type] as its first argument;
    matching [l1] with [nil] and [cons] means it must be a [list]; and
    so on.

    This powerful facility means we don't always have to write
    explicit type annotations everywhere, although explicit type
    annotations are still quite useful as documentation and sanity
    checks.  You should try to find a balance in your own code between
    too many type annotations (so many that they clutter and distract)
    and too few (which forces readers to perform type inference in
    their heads in order to understand your code). *)

(* ###################################################### *)
(** *** Type Argument Synthesis *)

(** Whenever we use a polymorphic function, we need to pass it
    one or more types in addition to its other arguments.  For
    example, the recursive call in the body of the [length] function
    above must pass along the type [X].  But just like providing
    explicit type annotations everywhere, this is heavy and verbose.
    Since the second argument to [length] is a list of [X]s, it seems
    entirely obvious that the first argument can only be [X] -- why
    should we have to write it explicitly?

    Fortunately, Coq permits us to avoid this kind of redundancy.  In
    place of any type argument we can write the "implicit argument"
    [_], which can be read as "Please figure out for yourself what
    type belongs here."  More precisely, when Coq encounters a [_], it
    will attempt to _unify_ all locally available information -- the
    type of the function being applied, the types of the other
    arguments, and the type expected by the context in which the
    application appears -- to determine what concrete type should
    replace the [_].

    This may sound similar to type annotation inference -- and,
    indeed, the two procedures rely on the same underlying mechanisms.
    Instead of simply omitting the types of some arguments to a
    function, like
      app' X l1 l2 : list X :=
    we can also replace the types with [_], like
      app' (X : _) (l1 l2 : _) : list X :=
    which tells Coq to attempt to infer the missing information, just
    as with argument synthesis.

    Using implicit arguments, the [length] function can be written
    like this: *)

Fixpoint length' (X:Type) (l:list X) : nat :=
  match l with
  | nil      => 0
  | cons h t => S (length' _ t)
  end.

(** In this instance, we don't save much by writing [_] instead of
    [X].  But in many cases the difference can be significant.  For
    example, suppose we want to write down a list containing the
    numbers [1], [2], and [3].  Instead of writing this... *)

Definition list123 :=
  cons nat 1 (cons nat 2 (cons nat 3 (nil nat))).

(** ...we can use argument synthesis to write this: *)

Definition list123' := cons _ 1 (cons _ 2 (cons _ 3 (nil _))).

(* ###################################################### *)
(** *** Implicit Arguments *)

(** If fact, we can go further.  To avoid having to sprinkle [_]'s
    throughout our programs, we can tell Coq _always_ to infer the
    type argument(s) of a given function. The [Arguments] directive
    specifies the name of the function or constructor, and then lists
    its argument names, with curly braces around any arguments to be
    treated as implicit. 
    *)

Arguments nil {X}.
Arguments cons {X} _ _.  (* use underscore for argument position that has no name *)
Arguments length {X} l.
Arguments app {X} l1 l2.
Arguments rev {X} l. 
Arguments snoc {X} l v.

(* note: no _ arguments required... *)
Definition list123'' := cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil)).
Check (length list123'').

(** *** *)

(** Alternatively, we can declare an argument to be implicit while
    defining the function itself, by surrounding the argument in curly
    braces.  For example: *)

Fixpoint length'' {X:Type} (l:list X) : nat :=
  match l with
  | nil      => 0
  | cons h t => S (length'' t)
  end.

(** (Note that we didn't even have to provide a type argument to
    the recursive call to [length'']; indeed, it is invalid to provide
    one.)  We will use this style whenever possible, although we will
    continue to use use explicit [Argument] declarations for
    [Inductive] constructors. *)

(** *** *)

(** One small problem with declaring arguments [Implicit] is
    that, occasionally, Coq does not have enough local information to
    determine a type argument; in such cases, we need to tell Coq that
    we want to give the argument explicitly this time, even though
    we've globally declared it to be [Implicit].  For example, suppose we
    write this: *)

(* Definition mynil := nil.  *)

(** If we uncomment this definition, Coq will give us an error,
    because it doesn't know what type argument to supply to [nil].  We
    can help it by providing an explicit type declaration (so that Coq
    has more information available when it gets to the "application"
    of [nil]): *)

Definition mynil : list nat := nil.

(** Alternatively, we can force the implicit arguments to be explicit by
   prefixing the function name with [@]. *)

Check @nil.

Definition mynil' := @nil nat.

(** *** *)
(** Using argument synthesis and implicit arguments, we can
    define convenient notation for lists, as before.  Since we have
    made the constructor type arguments implicit, Coq will know to
    automatically infer these when we use the notations. *)

Notation "x :: y" := (cons x y)
                     (at level 60, right associativity).
Notation "[ ]" := nil.
Notation "[ x ; .. ; y ]" := (cons x .. (cons y []) ..).
Notation "x ++ y" := (app x y)
                     (at level 60, right associativity).

(** Now lists can be written just the way we'd hope: *)

Definition list123''' := [1; 2; 3].

Check ([3 + 4] ++ nil).

(** ** Polymorphic Pairs *)

(** Following the same pattern, the type definition we gave in
    the last chapter for pairs of numbers can be generalized to
    _polymorphic pairs_ (or _products_): *)
Inductive prod (X Y : Type) : Type :=
  pair : X -> Y -> prod X Y.

Arguments pair {X} {Y} _ _.

(** As with lists, we make the type arguments implicit and define the
    familiar concrete notation. *)

Notation "( x , y )" := (pair x y).

(** We can also use the [Notation] mechanism to define the standard
    notation for pair _types_: *)

Notation "X * Y" := (prod X Y) : type_scope.

(** (The annotation [: type_scope] tells Coq that this abbreviation
    should be used when parsing types.  This avoids a clash with the
    multiplication symbol.) *)

(** *** *)
(** A note of caution: it is easy at first to get [(x,y)] and
    [X*Y] confused.  Remember that [(x,y)] is a _value_ built from two
    other values; [X*Y] is a _type_ built from two other types.  If
    [x] has type [X] and [y] has type [Y], then [(x,y)] has type
    [X*Y]. *)

(** The first and second projection functions now look pretty
    much as they would in any functional programming language. *)

Definition fst {X Y : Type} (p : X * Y) : X :=
  match p with (x,y) => x end.

Definition snd {X Y : Type} (p : X * Y) : Y :=
  match p with (x,y) => y end.

(** The following function takes two lists and combines them
    into a list of pairs.  In many functional programming languages,
    it is called [zip].  We call it [combine] for consistency with
    Coq's standard library. *)
(** Note that the pair notation can be used both in expressions and in
    patterns... *)

Fixpoint combine {X Y : Type} (lx : list X) (ly : list Y)
           : list (X*Y) :=
  match (lx,ly) with
  | ([],_) => []
  | (_,[]) => []

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (split) *)

    [split].  Make sure it passes the given unit tests. *)

(* ###################################################### *)
(** ** Higher-Order Functions *)

(** Like many other modern programming languages -- including
    all _functional languages_ (ML, Haskell, Scheme, etc.) -- Coq
    treats functions as first-class citizens, allowing functions to be
    passed as arguments to other functions, returned as results,
    stored in data structures, etc.

    Functions that manipulate other functions are often called
    _higher-order_ functions.  Here's a simple one: *)

Definition doit3times {X:Type} (f:X->X) (n:X) : X :=
  f (f (f n)).

(** The argument [f] here is itself a function (from [X] to
    [X]); the body of [doit3times] applies [f] three times to some
    value [n]. *)

(** ** Partial Application *)

(** In fact, the multiple-argument functions we have already

    recall the type of [plus]. *)

Check plus.
(* ==> nat -> nat -> nat *)

(** Each [->] in this expression is actually a _binary_ operator
    on types.  (This is the same as saying that Coq primitively
    supports only one-argument functions -- do you see why?)  This
    operator is _right-associative_, so the type of [plus] is really a
    shorthand for [nat -> (nat -> nat)] -- i.e., it can be read as
    saying that "[plus] is a one-argument function that takes a [nat]
    and returns a one-argument function that takes another [nat] and
    returns a [nat]."  In the examples above, we have always applied
    [plus] to both of its arguments at once, but if we like we can
    supply just the first.  This is called _partial application_. *)

(** ** Digression: Currying *)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, advanced (currying) *)
(** In Coq, a function [f : A -> B -> C] really has the type [A
    -> (B -> C)].  That is, if you give [f] a value of type [A], it
    will give you function [f' : B -> C].  If you then give [f'] a
    value of type [B], it will return a value of type [C].  This
    allows for partial application, as in [plus3].  Processing a list
    of arguments with functions that return functions is called
    _currying_, in honor of the logician Haskell Curry.

    Conversely, we can reinterpret the type [A -> B -> C] as [(A *
    B) -> C].  This is called _uncurrying_.  With an uncurried binary
    function, both arguments must be given at once as a pair; there is
    no partial application. *)

(** We can define currying as follows: *)

Definition prod_curry {X Y Z : Type}
  (f : X * Y -> Z) (x : X) (y : Y) : Z := f (x, y).

(** As an exercise, define its inverse, [prod_uncurry].  Then prove
    the theorems below to show that the two are inverses. *)

Definition prod_uncurry {X Y Z : Type}
  (f : X -> Y -> Z) (p : X * Y) : Z :=
  (* advanced exercise, not required *) admit.

    calculate the types of [prod_curry] and [prod_uncurry]?) *)

(** ** Filter *)

(** Here is a useful higher-order function, which takes a list

    and "filters" the list, returning a new list containing just those
    elements for which the predicate returns [true]. *)

(** ** Anonymous Functions *)

(** It is a little annoying to be forced to define the function
    [length_is_1] and give it a name just to be able to pass it as an
    argument to [filter], since we will probably never use it again.
    Moreover, this is not an isolated example.  When using
    higher-order functions, we often want to pass as arguments
    "one-off" functions that we will never use again; having to give
    each of these functions a name would be tedious.

    Fortunately, there is a better way. It is also possible to
    construct a function "on the fly" without declaring it at the top
    level or giving it a name; this is analogous to the notation we've
    been using for writing down constant lists, natural numbers, and
    so on. *)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (flat_map) *)
(** The function [map] maps a [list X] to a [list Y] using a function
    of type [X -> Y].  We can define a similar function, [flat_map],
    which maps a [list X] to a [list Y] using a function [f] of type
    [X -> list Y].  Your definition should work by 'flattening' the
    results of [f], like so:
        flat_map (fun n => [n;n+1;n+2]) [1;5;10]
      = [1; 2; 3; 5; 6; 7; 10; 11; 12].

  | []     => []
  | h :: t => (f h) ++ (flat_map f t)

(** Lists are not the only inductive type that we can write a

    | Some x => Some (f x)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, optional (implicit_args) *)
(** The definitions and uses of [filter] and [map] use implicit
    arguments in many places.  Replace the curly braces around the
    implicit arguments with parentheses, and then fill in explicit
    type parameters where necessary and use Coq to check that you've
    done so correctly.  (This exercise is not to be turned in; it is
    probably easiest to do it on a _copy_ of this file that you can
    throw away afterwards.)  [] *)

(** ** Fold *)

(** An even more powerful higher-order function is called
    [fold].  This function is the inspiration for the "[reduce]"
    operation that lies at the heart of Google's map/reduce
    distributed programming framework. *)

Fixpoint fold {X Y:Type} (f: X->Y->Y) (l:list X) (b:Y) : Y :=
  match l with
  | nil => b
  | h :: t => f h (fold f t b)
  end.

(** *** *)

(** Intuitively, the behavior of the [fold] operation is to
    insert a given binary operator [f] between every pair of elements
    in a given list.  For example, [ fold plus [1;2;3;4] ] intuitively
    means [1+2+3+4].  To make this precise, we also need a "starting
    element" that serves as the initial second input to [f].  So, for
    example,
   fold plus [1;2;3;4] 0
    yields
   1 + (2 + (3 + (4 + 0))).
    Here are some more examples:

    situation where it would be useful for [X] and [Y] to be
    different? *)

(** ** Functions For Constructing Functions *)

(** Most of the higher-order functions we have talked about so
    far take functions as _arguments_.  Now let's look at some
    examples involving _returning_ functions as the results of other
    functions.

    To begin, here is a function that takes a value [x] (drawn from
    some type [X]) and returns a function from [nat] to [X] that
    yields [x] whenever it is called, ignoring its [nat] argument. *)

Definition constfun {X: Type} (x: X) : nat->X :=
  fun (k:nat) => x.

Definition ftrue := constfun true.

Proof. reflexivity. Qed.

Example constfun_example2 : (constfun 5) 99 = 5.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.

(** *** *)
(** Similarly, but a bit more interestingly, here is a function
    that takes a function [f] from numbers to some type [X], a number
    [k], and a value [x], and constructs a function that behaves
    exactly like [f] except that, when called with the argument [k],
    it returns [x]. *)

Definition override {X: Type} (f: nat->X) (k:nat) (x:X) : nat->X:=
  fun (k':nat) => if beq_nat k k' then x else f k'.

(** For example, we can apply [override] twice to obtain a
    function from numbers to booleans that returns [false] on [1] and
    [3] and returns [true] on all other arguments. *)

(** **** Exercise: 1 star (override_example) *)
(** Before starting to work on the following proof, make sure you

(** We'll use function overriding heavily in parts of the rest of the
    course, and we will end up needing to know quite a bit about its
    properties.  To prove these properties, though, we need to know
    about a few more of Coq's tactics; developing these is the main
    topic of the next chapter.  For now, though, let's introduce just
    one very useful tactic that will also help us with proving
    properties of some of the other functions we have introduced in
    this chapter. *)

(* ###################################################### *)
(** * The [unfold] Tactic *)

(** Sometimes, a proof will get stuck because Coq doesn't
    automatically expand a function call into its definition.  (This
    is a feature, not a bug: if Coq automatically expanded everything
    possible, our proof goals would quickly become enormous -- hard to
    read and slow for Coq to manipulate!) *)

Theorem unfold_example_bad : forall m n,
  3 + n = m ->
  plus3 n + 1 = m + 1.
Proof.
  intros m n H.
(* At this point, we'd like to do [rewrite -> H], since 
     [plus3 n] is definitionally equal to [3 + n].  However, 
     Coq doesn't automatically expand [plus3 n] to its 
     definition. *)
  Abort.

(** The [unfold] tactic can be used to explicitly replace a
    defined name by the right-hand side of its definition.  *)

  3 + n = m ->
  plus3 n + 1 = m + 1.
Proof.
  intros m n H.

(** Now we can prove a first property of [override]: If we
    override a function at some argument [k] and then look up [k], we
    get back the overridden value. *)

Theorem override_eq : forall {X:Type} x k (f:nat->X),
  (override f k x) k = x.
Proof.
  intros X x k f.
  unfold override.
  rewrite <- beq_nat_refl.

(** This proof was straightforward, but note that it requires
    [unfold] to expand the definition of [override]. *)

(** As the inverse of [unfold], Coq also provides a tactic
