(** * Tactics: More Basic Tactics *)


(** This chapter introduces several more proof strategies and
    tactics that allow us to prove more interesting properties of
    functional programs.  We will see:

    - how to use auxiliary lemmas in both "forward-style" and
      "backward-style" proofs;
    - how to reason about data constructors (in particular, how to use
      the fact that they are injective and disjoint);
    - how to create a strong induction hypothesis (and when such
      strengthening is required); and
    - more details on how to reason by case analysis. *)

(** * The [apply] Tactic *)

(** We often encounter situations where the goal to be proved is
    exactly the same as some hypothesis in the context or some
    previously proved lemma. *)

Theorem silly1 : forall (n m o p : nat),
     n = m  ->
     [n;o] = [n;p] ->
     [n;o] = [m;p].
Proof.
  intros n m o p eq1 eq2.
  rewrite <- eq1.

(** At this point, we could finish with "[rewrite -> eq2.
    reflexivity.]" as we have done several times before.  We can
    achieve the same effect in a single step by using the [apply]
    tactic instead: *)

  apply eq2.  Qed.

(** The [apply] tactic also works with _conditional_ hypotheses
    and lemmas: if the statement being applied is an implication, then
    the premises of this implication will be added to the list of
    subgoals needing to be proved. *)

Theorem silly2 : forall (n m o p : nat),
     n = m  ->
     (forall (q r : nat), q = r -> [q;o] = [r;p]) ->
     [n;o] = [m;p].
Proof.
  intros n m o p eq1 eq2.
  apply eq2. apply eq1.  Qed.

(** You may find it instructive to experiment with this proof
    and see if there is a way to complete it using just [rewrite]
    instead of [apply]. *)

(** Typically, when we use [apply H], the statement [H] will
    begin with a [forall] that binds some _universal variables_.  When
    Coq matches the current goal against the conclusion of [H], it
    will try to find appropriate values for these variables.  For
    example, when we do [apply eq2] in the following proof, the
    universal variable [q] in [eq2] gets instantiated with [n] and [r]
    gets instantiated with [m]. *)

Theorem silly2a : forall (n m : nat),
     (n,n) = (m,m)  ->
     (forall (q r : nat), (q,q) = (r,r) -> [q] = [r]) ->
     [n] = [m].
Proof.
  intros n m eq1 eq2.
  apply eq2. apply eq1.  Qed.

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, optional (silly_ex)  *)
(** Complete the following proof without using [simpl]. *)

Theorem silly_ex :
     (forall n, evenb n = true -> oddb (S n) = true) ->
     evenb 3 = true ->
     oddb 4 = true.
Proof.
  intros H1 H2.
  apply H1. apply H2.
Qed.

(** To use the [apply] tactic, the (conclusion of the) fact
    being applied must match the goal exactly -- for example, [apply]
    will not work if the left and right sides of the equality are
    swapped. *)

Theorem silly3_firsttry : forall (n : nat),
     true = beq_nat n 5  ->
     beq_nat (S (S n)) 7 = true.
Proof.
  intros n H.
  simpl.
  (* Here we cannot use [apply] directly *)
Abort.

(** In this case we can use the [symmetry] tactic, which switches the
    left and right sides of an equality in the goal. *)

Theorem silly3 : forall (n : nat),
     true = beq_nat n 5  ->
     beq_nat (S (S n)) 7 = true.
Proof.
  intros n H.
  symmetry.
  simpl. (* Actually, this [simpl] is unnecessary, since
            [apply] will perform simplification first. *)
  apply H.  Qed.

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars (apply_exercise1)  *)
(** (_Hint_: You can use [apply] with previously defined lemmas, not
    just hypotheses in the context.  Remember that [SearchAbout] is
    your friend.) *)

Theorem rev_exercise1 : forall (l l' : list nat),
     l = rev l' ->
     l' = rev l.
Proof.
  intros l l' H.
  rewrite -> H.
  symmetry.
  apply rev_involutive.
Qed.

(** **** Exercise: 1 star, optional (apply_rewrite)  *)
(** Briefly explain the difference between the tactics [apply] and
    [rewrite].  What are the situations where both can usefully be
    applied? *)

(* When we need to use global variables, "apply" is better than "rewrite". *)

(* ################################################################# *)
(** * The [apply ... with ...] Tactic *)

(** The following silly example uses two rewrites in a row to
    get from [[a,b]] to [[e,f]]. *)

Example trans_eq_example : forall (a b c d e f : nat),
     [a;b] = [c;d] ->
     [c;d] = [e;f] ->
     [a;b] = [e;f].
Proof.
  intros a b c d e f eq1 eq2.
  rewrite -> eq1. rewrite -> eq2. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** Since this is a common pattern, we might like to pull it out
    as a lemma recording, once and for all, the fact that equality is
    transitive. *)

Theorem trans_eq : forall (X:Type) (n m o : X),
  n = m -> m = o -> n = o.
Proof.
  intros X n m o eq1 eq2. rewrite -> eq1. rewrite -> eq2.
  reflexivity.  Qed.

(** Now, we should be able to use [trans_eq] to prove the above
    example.  However, to do this we need a slight refinement of the
    [apply] tactic. *)

Example trans_eq_example' : forall (a b c d e f : nat),
     [a;b] = [c;d] ->
     [c;d] = [e;f] ->
     [a;b] = [e;f].
Proof.
  intros a b c d e f eq1 eq2.

(** If we simply tell Coq [apply trans_eq] at this point, it can
    tell (by matching the goal against the conclusion of the lemma)
    that it should instantiate [X] with [[nat]], [n] with [[a,b]], and
    [o] with [[e,f]].  However, the matching process doesn't determine
    an instantiation for [m]: we have to supply one explicitly by
    adding [with (m:=[c,d])] to the invocation of [apply]. *)

  apply trans_eq with (m:=[c;d]). apply eq1. apply eq2.   Qed.

(** Actually, we usually don't have to include the name [m] in
    the [with] clause; Coq is often smart enough to figure out which
    instantiation we're giving. We could instead write: [apply
    trans_eq with [c;d]]. *)

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, optional (apply_with_exercise)  *)
Example trans_eq_exercise : forall (n m o p : nat),
     m = (minustwo o) ->
     (n + p) = m ->
     (n + p) = (minustwo o).
Proof.
  intros n m o p H1 H2.
  apply trans_eq with m. apply H2. apply H1.
Qed.

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

(** Recall the definition of natural numbers:

     Inductive nat : Type :=
       | O : nat
       | S : nat -> nat.

    It is obvious from this definition that every number has one of
    two forms: either it is the constructor [O] or it is built by
    applying the constructor [S] to another number.  But there is more
    here than meets the eye: implicit in the definition (and in our
    informal understanding of how datatype declarations work in other
    programming languages) are two more facts:

    - The constructor [S] is _injective_.  That is, if [S n = S m], it
      must be the case that [n = m].

    - The constructors [O] and [S] are _disjoint_.  That is, [O] is not
      equal to [S n] for any [n]. *)

(** Similar principles apply to all inductively defined types: all
    constructors are injective, and the values built from distinct
    constructors are never equal.  For lists, the [cons] constructor
    is injective and [nil] is different from every non-empty list.
    For booleans, [true] and [false] are different.  (Since neither
    [true] nor [false] take any arguments, their injectivity is not an
    issue.)  And so on. *)

(** Coq provides a tactic called [inversion] that allows us to
    exploit these principles in proofs. To see how to use it, let's
    show explicitly that the [S] constructor is injective: *)

Theorem S_injective : forall (n m : nat),
  S n = S m ->
  n = m.
Proof.
  intros n m H.

(** By writing [inversion H] at this point, we ask Coq to
    generate all equations that it can infer from [H] as additional
    hypotheses, replacing variables in the goal as it goes. In the
    present example, this amounts to adding a new hypothesis [H1 : n =
    m] and replacing [n] by [m] in the goal. *)

  inversion H. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** Here's a more interesting example that shows how multiple
    equations can be derived at once. *)

Theorem inversion_ex1 : forall (n m o : nat),
  [n; m] = [o; o] ->
  [n] = [m].
Proof.
  intros n m o H. inversion H. reflexivity. Qed.

(** It is possible to name the equations that [inversion]
    generates with an [as ...] clause: *)

Theorem inversion_ex2 : forall (n m : nat),
  [n] = [m] ->
  n = m.
Proof.
  intros n o H. inversion H as [Hno]. reflexivity.  Qed.

(** **** Exercise: 1 star (inversion_ex3)  *)
Example inversion_ex3 : forall (X : Type) (x y z : X) (l j : list X),
  x :: y :: l = z :: j ->
  y :: l = x :: j ->
  x = y.
Proof.
  intros X x y z l j H0 H1.
  inversion H1. reflexivity.
Qed.

(** While the injectivity of constructors allows us to reason
    that [forall (n m : nat), S n = S m -> n = m], the converse of
    this implication is an instance of a more general fact about
    constructors and functions, which we will find useful below: *)

Theorem f_equal : forall (A B : Type) (f: A -> B) (x y: A),
  x = y -> f x = f y.
Proof. intros A B f x y eq. rewrite eq.  reflexivity.  Qed.

(** When used on a hypothesis involving an equality between
    _different_ constructors (e.g., [S n = O]), [inversion] solves the
    goal immediately. To see why this makes sense, consider the
    following proof: *)

Theorem beq_nat_0_l : forall n,
   beq_nat 0 n = true -> n = 0.
Proof.
  intros n.

(** We can proceed by case analysis on [n]. The first case is
    trivial. *)

  destruct n as [| n'].
  - (* n = 0 *)
    intros H. reflexivity.

(** However, the second one doesn't look so simple: assuming
    [beq_nat 0 (S n') = true], we must show [S n' = 0], but the latter
    clearly contradictory!  The way forward lies in the assumption.
    After simplifying the goal state, we see that [beq_nat 0 (S n') =
    true] has become [false = true]: *)

  - (* n = S n' *)
    simpl.

(** If we use [inversion] on this hypothesis, Coq notices that
    the subgoal we are working on is impossible, and therefore removes
    it from further consideration. *)

    intros H. inversion H. Qed.

(** This is an instance of a general logical principle known as
    the _principle of explosion_, which asserts that a contradiction
    entails anything, even false things.  For instance: *)

Theorem inversion_ex4 : forall (n : nat),
  S n = O ->
  2 + 2 = 5.
Proof.
  intros n contra. inversion contra. Qed.

Theorem inversion_ex5 : forall (n m : nat),
  false = true ->
  [n] = [m].
Proof.
  intros n m contra. inversion contra. Qed.

(** If you find the principle of explosion confusing, remember
    that these proofs are not actually showing that the conclusion of
    the statement holds.  Rather, they are arguing that the situation
    described by the premise can never arise, so the implication is
    vacuous.  We'll explore the principle of explosion of more detail
    in the next chapter. *)

(** **** Exercise: 1 star (inversion_ex6)  *)
Example inversion_ex6 : forall (X : Type)
                          (x y z : X) (l j : list X),
  x :: y :: l = [] ->
  y :: l = z :: j ->
  x = z.
Proof.
  intros X x y z l j H0 H1.
  inversion H0.
Qed.

(** To summarize this discussion, suppose [H] is a hypothesis in the
    context or a previously proven lemma of the form

      c a1 a2 ... an = d b1 b2 ... bm

    for some constructors [c] and [d] and arguments [a1 ... an] and
    [b1 ... bm].  Then [inversion H] has the following effect:

    - If [c] and [d] are the same constructor, then, by the
      injectivity of this constructor, we know that [a1 = b1], [a2 =
      b2], etc.; [inversion H] adds these facts to the context, and
      tries to use them to rewrite the goal.

    - If [c] and [d] are different constructors, then the hypothesis
      [H] is contradictory, and the current goal doesn't have to be
      considered. In this case, [inversion H] marks the current goal
      as completed and pops it off the goal stack. *)


(* ################################################################# *)
(** * Using Tactics on Hypotheses *)

(** By default, most tactics work on the goal formula and leave
    the context unchanged.  However, most tactics also have a variant
    that performs a similar operation on a statement in the context.

    For example, the tactic [simpl in H] performs simplification in
    the hypothesis named [H] in the context. *)

Theorem S_inj : forall (n m : nat) (b : bool),
     beq_nat (S n) (S m) = b  ->
     beq_nat n m = b.
Proof.
  intros n m b H. simpl in H. apply H.  Qed.

(** Similarly, [apply L in H] matches some conditional statement
    [L] (of the form [L1 -> L2], say) against a hypothesis [H] in the
    context.  However, unlike ordinary [apply] (which rewrites a goal
    matching [L2] into a subgoal [L1]), [apply L in H] matches [H]
    against [L1] and, if successful, replaces it with [L2].

    In other words, [apply L in H] gives us a form of "forward
    reasoning": from [L1 -> L2] and a hypothesis matching [L1], it
    produces a hypothesis matching [L2].  By contrast, [apply L] is
    "backward reasoning": it says that if we know [L1->L2] and we are
    trying to prove [L2], it suffices to prove [L1].

    Here is a variant of a proof from above, using forward reasoning
    throughout instead of backward reasoning. *)

Theorem silly3' : forall (n : nat),
  (beq_nat n 5 = true -> beq_nat (S (S n)) 7 = true) ->
  true = beq_nat n 5  ->
  true = beq_nat (S (S n)) 7.
Proof.
  intros n eq H.
  symmetry in H. apply eq in H. symmetry in H.
  apply H.  Qed.

(** Forward reasoning starts from what is _given_ (premises,
    previously proven theorems) and iteratively draws conclusions from
    them until the goal is reached.  Backward reasoning starts from
    the _goal_, and iteratively reasons about what would imply the
    goal, until premises or previously proven theorems are reached.
    If you've seen informal proofs before (for example, in a math or
    computer science class), they probably used forward reasoning.  In
    general, idiomatic use of Coq tends to favor backward reasoning,
    but in some situations the forward style can be easier to think
    about.  *)

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, recommended (plus_n_n_injective)  *)
(** Practice using "in" variants in this exercise.  (Hint: use
    [plus_n_Sm].) *)
Lemma double_injective : forall n m,

Qed.

      (* ################################################################# *)
(** * Varying the Induction Hypothesis *)

(** Sometimes it is important to control the exact form of the
    induction hypothesis when carrying out inductive proofs in Coq.
    In particular, we need to be careful about which of the
    assumptions we move (using [intros]) from the goal to the context
    before invoking the [induction] tactic.  For example, suppose
    we want to show that the [double] function is injective -- i.e.,
    that it always maps different arguments to different results:

    Theorem double_injective: forall n m, 
      double n = double m -> n = m.

    The way we _start_ this proof is a bit delicate: if we begin with

      intros n. induction n.

    all is well.  But if we begin it with

      intros n m. induction n.

    we get stuck in the middle of the inductive case... *)

Theorem double_injective_FAILED : forall n m,
     double n = double m ->
     n = m.
Proof.
  intros n m. induction n as [| n'].
  - (* n = O *) simpl. intros eq. destruct m as [| m'].
    + (* m = O *) reflexivity.
    + (* m = S m' *) inversion eq.
  - (* n = S n' *) intros eq. destruct m as [| m'].
    + (* m = O *) inversion eq.
    + (* m = S m' *)  apply f_equal.

(** At this point, the induction hypothesis, [IHn'], does not give us
    [n' = m'] -- there is an extra [S] in the way -- so the goal is
    not provable. *)

      Abort.

(** What went wrong? *)

(** The problem is that, at the point we invoke the induction
    hypothesis, we have already introduced [m] into the context --
    intuitively, we have told Coq, "Let's consider some particular [n]
    and [m]..." and we now have to prove that, if [double n = double
    m] for _these particular_ [n] and [m], then [n = m].

    The next tactic, [induction n] says to Coq: We are going to show
    the goal by induction on [n].  That is, we are going to prove, for
    _all_ [n], that the proposition

      - [P n] = "if [double n = double m], then [n = m]"

    holds, by showing

      - [P O]

         (i.e., "if [double O = double m] then [O = m]") and

      - [P n -> P (S n)]

        (i.e., "if [double n = double m] then [n = m]" implies "if
        [double (S n) = double m] then [S n = m]").

    If we look closely at the second statement, it is saying something
    rather strange: it says that, for a _particular_ [m], if we know

      - "if [double n = double m] then [n = m]"

    then we can prove

       - "if [double (S n) = double m] then [S n = m]".

    To see why this is strange, let's think of a particular [m] --
    say, [5].  The statement is then saying that, if we know

      - [Q] = "if [double n = 10] then [n = 5]"

    then we can prove

      - [R] = "if [double (S n) = 10] then [S n = 5]".

    But knowing [Q] doesn't give us any help at all with proving
    [R]!  (If we tried to prove [R] from [Q], we would start with
    something like "Suppose [double (S n) = 10]..." but then we'd be
    stuck: knowing that [double (S n)] is [10] tells us nothing about
    whether [double n] is [10], so [Q] is useless.) *)

(** To summarize: Trying to carry out this proof by induction on [n]
    when [m] is already in the context doesn't work because we are
    then trying to prove a relation involving _every_ [n] but just a
    _single_ [m]. *)

(** The good proof of [double_injective] leaves [m] in the goal
    statement at the point where the [induction] tactic is invoked on
    [n]: *)

Theorem double_injective' : forall n m,
     double n = double m ->
     n = m.
Proof.
  intros n. induction n as [| n'].
  - (* n = O *) simpl. intros m eq. destruct m as [| m'].
    + (* m = O *) reflexivity.
    + (* m = S m' *) inversion eq.

  - (* n = S n' *) simpl.

(** Notice that both the goal and the induction hypothesis are
    different this time: the goal asks us to prove something more
    general (i.e., to prove the statement for _every_ [m]), but the IH
    is correspondingly more flexible, allowing us to choose any [m] we
    like when we apply the IH. *)

    intros m eq.

(** Now we've chosen a particular [m] and introduced the assumption
    that [double n = double m].  Since we are doing a case analysis on
    [n], we also need a case analysis on [m] to keep the two "in sync." *)

    destruct m as [| m'].
    + (* m = O *) simpl.

(** The 0 case is trivial: *)

      inversion eq.

    + (* m = S m' *)
      apply f_equal.

(** At this point, since we are in the second branch of the [destruct
    m], the [m'] mentioned in the context is the predecessor of the
    [m] we started out talking about.  Since we are also in the [S]
    branch of the induction, this is perfect: if we instantiate the
    generic [m] in the IH with the current [m'] (this instantiation is
    performed automatically by the [apply] in the next step), then
    [IHn'] gives us exactly what we need to finish the proof. *)

      apply IHn'. inversion eq. reflexivity. Qed.

(** What you should take away from all this is that we need to be
    careful about using induction to try to prove something too
    specific: If we're proving a property of [n] and [m] by induction
    on [n], we may need to leave [m] generic. *)

(** The following exercise requires the same pattern. *)

(* FILL IN HERE *)
(** [] *)

(** The strategy of doing fewer [intros] before an [induction] to
    obtain a more general IH doesn't always work by itself; sometimes
    a little _rearrangement_ of quantified variables is needed.
    Suppose, for example, that we wanted to prove [double_injective]
    by induction on [m] instead of [n]. *)

Theorem double_injective_take2_FAILED : forall n m,

        (* Stuck again here, just like before. *)
Abort.

(** The problem here is that, to do induction on [m], we must first
    introduce [n].  (If we simply say [induction m] without
    introducing anything first, Coq will automatically introduce [n]
    for us!)  *)

(** What can we do about this?  One possibility is to rewrite the
    statement of the lemma so that [m] is quantified before [n].  This
    will work, but it's not nice: We don't want to have to twist the
    statements of lemmas to fit the needs of a particular strategy for
    proving them -- we want to state them in the most clear and
    natural way. *)

(** What we can do instead is to first introduce all the quantified
    variables and then _re-generalize_ one or more of them,
    selectively taking variables out of the context and putting them
    back at the beginning of the goal.  The [generalize dependent]
    tactic does this. *)

(** Let's look at an informal proof of this theorem.  Note that
    the proposition we prove by induction leaves [n] quantified,
    corresponding to the use of generalize dependent in our formal
    proof.

    _Theorem_: For any nats [n] and [m], if [double n = double m], then
      [n = m].

    _Proof_: Let [m] be a [nat]. We prove by induction on [m] that, for
      any [n], if [double n = double m] then [n = m].

      - First, suppose [m = 0], and suppose [n] is a number such
        that [double n = double m].  We must show that [n = 0].

        Since [m = 0], by the definition of [double] we have [double n =
        0].  There are two cases to consider for [n].  If [n = 0] we are
        done, since [m = 0 = n], as required.  Otherwise, if [n = S n']
        for some [n'], we derive a contradiction: by the definition of
        [double], we can calculate [double n = S (S (double n'))], but
        this contradicts the assumption that [double n = 0].

      - Second, suppose [m = S m'] and that [n] is again a number such
        that [double n = double m].  We must show that [n = S m'], with
        the induction hypothesis that for every number [s], if [double s =
        double m'] then [s = m'].

        By the fact that [m = S m'] and the definition of [double], we
        have [double n = S (S (double m'))].  There are two cases to
        consider for [n].

        If [n = 0], then by definition [double n = 0], a contradiction.

        Thus, we may assume that [n = S n'] for some [n'], and again by
        the definition of [double] we have [S (S (double n')) =
        S (S (double m'))], which implies by inversion that [double n' =
        double m'].  Instantiating the induction hypothesis with [n'] thus
        allows us to conclude that [n' = m'], and it follows immediately
        that [S n' = S m'].  Since [S n' = n] and [S m' = m], this is just
        what we wanted to show. [] *)

(** * Unfolding Definitions *)

(** It sometimes happens that we need to manually unfold a Definition
    so that we can manipulate its right-hand side.  For example, if we
    define... *)

Definition square n := n * n.

(** ... and try to prove a simple fact about [square]... *)

Lemma square_mult : forall n m, square (n * m) = square n * square m.
Proof.
  intros n m.
  simpl.

(** ... we get stuck: [simpl] doesn't simplify anything at this point,
    and since we haven't proved any other facts about [square], there
    is nothing we can [apply] or [rewrite] with.

    To make progress, we can manually [unfold] the definition of
    [square]: *)

  unfold square.

(** Now we have plenty to work with: both sides of the equality are
    expressions involving multiplication, and we have lots of facts
    about multiplication at our disposal.  In particular, we know that
    it is commutative and associative, and from these facts it is not
    hard to finish the proof. *)
  
  rewrite mult_assoc.
  assert (H : n * m * n = n * n * m).
  { rewrite mult_comm. apply mult_assoc. }
  rewrite H. rewrite mult_assoc. reflexivity.
Qed.

(** At this point, a deeper discussion of unfolding and simplification
    is in order.

    You may already have observed that tactics like [simpl],
    [reflexivity], and [apply] will often unfold the definitions of
    functions automatically when it allows them to make progress.  For
    example, if we define [foo m] to be the constant [5], *)

Definition foo (x: nat) := 5.

(** then the [simpl] in the following proof (or the [reflexivity], if
    we omit the [simpl]) will unfold [foo m] to [(fun x => 5) m] and
    then further simplify this expression to just [5]. *)

Fact silly_fact_1 : forall m, foo m + 1 = foo (m + 1) + 1.
Proof.
  intros m.
  simpl.
  reflexivity.
Qed.

(** However, this automatic unfolding is rather conservative.  For
    example, if we define a slightly more complicated function
    involving a pattern match... *)

Definition bar x :=
  match x with
  | O => 5
  | S _ => 5
  end.

(** ...then the analogous proof will get stuck: *)

Fact silly_fact_2_FAILED : forall m, bar m + 1 = bar (m + 1) + 1.
Proof.
  intros m.
  simpl. (* Does nothing! *)
Abort.

(** The reason that [simpl] doesn't make progress here is that it
    notices that, after tentatively unfolding [bar m], it is left with
    a match whose scrutinee, [m], is a variable, so the [match] cannot
    be simplified further.  (It is not smart enough to notice that the
    two branches of the [match] are identical.)  So it gives up on
    unfolding [bar m] and leaves it alone.  Similarly, tentatively
    unfolding [bar (m+1)] leaves a [match] whose scrutinee is a
    function application (that, itself, cannot be simplified, even
    after unfolding the definition of [+]), so [simpl] leaves it
    alone.

    At this point, there are two ways to make progress.  One is to use
    [destruct m] to break the proof into two cases, each focusing on a
    more concrete choice of [m] ([O] vs [S _]).  In each case, the
    [match] inside of [bar] can now make progress, and the proof is
    easy to complete. *)

Fact silly_fact_2 : forall m, bar m + 1 = bar (m + 1) + 1.
Proof.
  intros m.
  destruct m.
  - simpl. reflexivity.
  - simpl. reflexivity.
Qed.

(** This approach works, but it depends on our recognizing that the
    [match] hidden inside [bar] is what was preventing us from making
    progress.

    A more straightforward way to finish the proof is to explicitly
    tell Coq to unfold [bar]. *)

Fact silly_fact_2' : forall m, bar m + 1 = bar (m + 1) + 1.
Proof.
  intros m.
  unfold bar.

(** Now it is apparent that we are stuck on the [match] expressions on
    both sides of the [=], and we can use [destruct] to finish the
    proof without thinking too hard. *)

  destruct m.
  - reflexivity.
  - reflexivity.
Qed.

(* ################################################################# *)
(** * Using [destruct] on Compound Expressions *)

(** We have seen many examples where [destruct] is used to
    perform case analysis of the value of some variable.  But
    sometimes we need to reason by cases on the result of some
    _expression_.  We can also do this with [destruct].

    Here are some examples: *)

Definition sillyfun (n : nat) : bool :=
  if beq_nat n 3 then false
  else if beq_nat n 5 then false
  else false.

Theorem sillyfun_false : forall (n : nat),
  sillyfun n = false.
Proof.
  intros n. unfold sillyfun.
  destruct (beq_nat n 3).
    - (* beq_nat n 3 = true *) reflexivity.
    - (* beq_nat n 3 = false *) destruct (beq_nat n 5).
      + (* beq_nat n 5 = true *) reflexivity.
      + (* beq_nat n 5 = false *) reflexivity.  Qed.

(** After unfolding [sillyfun] in the above proof, we find that
    we are stuck on [if (beq_nat n 3) then ... else ...].  But either
    [n] is equal to [3] or it isn't, so we can use [destruct (beq_nat
    n 3)] to let us reason about the two cases.

    In general, the [destruct] tactic can be used to perform case
    analysis of the results of arbitrary computations.  If [e] is an
    expression whose type is some inductively defined type [T], then,
    for each constructor [c] of [T], [destruct e] generates a subgoal
    in which all occurrences of [e] (in the goal and in the context)
    are replaced by [c]. *)

(** **** Exercise: 3 stars, optional (combine_split)  *)
Theorem combine_split : forall X Y (l : list (X * Y)) l1 l2,
  split l = (l1, l2) ->
  combine l1 l2 = l.
Proof.
  intros X Y l l1 l2 H. generalize dependent l. generalize l1.
  induction l2 as [| h2 l2'].
  - intros l0 l. generalize dependent l0. induction l as [|h l'].
    + intros l0 H. assert (l0 = []). { inversion H. reflexivity. } rewrite H0. reflexivity.
    + intros l0 H. inversion H. unfold app_list_pair in H1. Abort.
      

(** However, [destruct]ing compound expressions requires a bit of
    care, as such [destruct]s can sometimes erase information we need
    to complete a proof. *)
(** For example, suppose we define a function [sillyfun1] like
    this: *)

Definition sillyfun1 (n : nat) : bool :=
  if beq_nat n 3 then true
  else if beq_nat n 5 then true
  else false.

(** Now suppose that we want to convince Coq of the (rather
    obvious) fact that [sillyfun1 n] yields [true] only when [n] is
    odd.  By analogy with the proofs we did with [sillyfun] above, it
    is natural to start the proof like this: *)

Theorem sillyfun1_odd_FAILED : forall (n : nat),
     sillyfun1 n = true ->
     oddb n = true.
Proof.
  intros n eq. unfold sillyfun1 in eq.
  destruct (beq_nat n 3).
  (* stuck... *)
Abort.

(** We get stuck at this point because the context does not
    contain enough information to prove the goal!  The problem is that
    the substitution performed by [destruct] is too brutal -- it threw
    away every occurrence of [beq_nat n 3], but we need to keep some
    memory of this expression and how it was destructed, because we
    need to be able to reason that, since [beq_nat n 3 = true] in this
    branch of the case analysis, it must be that [n = 3], from which
    it follows that [n] is odd.

    What we would really like is to substitute away all existing
    occurences of [beq_nat n 3], but at the same time add an equation
    to the context that records which case we are in.  The [eqn:]
    qualifier allows us to introduce such an equation, giving it a
    name that we choose. *)

Theorem sillyfun1_odd : forall (n : nat),
     sillyfun1 n = true ->
     oddb n = true.
Proof.
  intros n eq. unfold sillyfun1 in eq.
  destruct (beq_nat n 3) eqn:Heqe3.

(** * Review *)

(** We've now seen many of Coq's most fundamental tactics.  We'll
    introduce a few more in the coming chapters, and later on we'll
    see some more powerful _automation_ tactics that make Coq help us
    with low-level details.  But basically we've got what we need to
    get work done.

    Here are the ones we've seen:

      - [intros]: move hypotheses/variables from goal to context

      - [reflexivity]: finish the proof (when the goal looks like [e =
        e])

      - [apply]: prove goal using a hypothesis, lemma, or constructor

      - [apply... in H]: apply a hypothesis, lemma, or constructor to
        a hypothesis in the context (forward reasoning)

      - [apply... with...]: explicitly specify values for variables
        that cannot be determined by pattern matching

      - [simpl]: simplify computations in the goal

      - [simpl in H]: ... or a hypothesis

      - [rewrite]: use an equality hypothesis (or lemma) to rewrite
        the goal

      - [rewrite ... in H]: ... or a hypothesis

      - [symmetry]: changes a goal of the form [t=u] into [u=t]

      - [symmetry in H]: changes a hypothesis of the form [t=u] into
        [u=t]

      - [unfold]: replace a defined constant by its right-hand side in
        the goal

      - [unfold... in H]: ... or a hypothesis

      - [destruct... as...]: case analysis on values of inductively
        defined types

      - [destruct... eqn:...]: specify the name of an equation to be
        added to the context, recording the result of the case
        analysis


      - [induction... as...]: induction on values of inductively
        defined types

      - [inversion]: reason by injectivity and distinctness of
        constructors

      - [assert (e) as H]: introduce a "local lemma" [e] and call it
        [H]

      - [generalize dependent x]: move the variable [x] (and anything
        else that depends on it) from the context back to an explicit
