We're doing veverything through a VSCode lecture.

  • Lean nicely formats things like natural number symbols
  • Copilot in vscode also looks pretty insane. Pretty sick preloading for what people anticipate

We're proving the factorial

def fac: N->N
	| 0=>1
	| n+1 => (n+1) * fac n

#check fac
#print fac
#eval fac 3 /- this will actually run the function -/

These are functional definitions

Lean is suprisingly a good programming language. Most of lean is written in lean

theorem dvd_fac: \forall n, \forall i \leq n, i | fac n:= by
intro n 
induction' n with n ih
. simp: [fac] /-(now something is wrong. 1=0..? Turns out our theorem is false when i = 0!)-/
/-so change i to i+1-/
. intro i h
	rw[fac]
	rcases lt_or_eq_of_le (Nat.le_of_lt_succ N) with h1 | rfl
	. apply dvd_mulof_dvd_right
		apply ih _ h1
		
	. dvd_mul_right

#check dvd_fac /- it works! -/

'fac' is a program, and we just proved something about it.

This is what software verification is all about.
