Batteries.Tactic.Init

Simple tactics that are used throughout Batteries. #

_ in tactic position acts like the done tactic: it fails and gives the list of goals if there are any. It is useful as a placeholder after starting a tactic block such as by _ to make it syntactically correct and show the current goal.

Equations

Like exact, but takes a list of terms and checks that all goals are discharged after the tactic.

Equations
  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

by_contra h proves ⊢ p by contradiction, introducing a hypothesis h : ¬p and proving False.

Equations
  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

Given a proof h of p, absurd h changes the goal to ⊢ ¬ p. If p is a negation ¬q then the goal is changed to ⊢ q instead.

split_ands applies And.intro until it does not make progress.

Equations

fapply e is like apply e but it adds goals in the order they appear, rather than putting the dependent goals first.

eapply e is like apply e but it does not add subgoals for variables that appear in the types of other goals. Note that this can lead to a failure where there are no goals remaining but there are still metavariables in the term:

example (h : ∀ x : Nat, x = x → True) : True := by
  eapply h
  rfl
  -- no goals
-- (kernel) declaration has metavariables '_example'

conv tactic to close a goal using an equality theorem.

Equations
  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

The conv tactic equals claims that the currently focused subexpression is equal to the given expression, and proves this claim using the given tactic.

example (P : (Nat → Nat) → Prop) : P (fun n => n - n) := by
  conv in (_ - _) => equals 0 =>
    -- current goal: ⊢ n - n = 0
    apply Nat.sub_self
  -- current goal: P (fun n => 0)
