Copy path to clipboardfold
is the primitive function for consuming List
s
If you treat the list [ x, y, z ]
as cons x (cons y (cons z nil))
, then a
fold
just replaces each cons
and nil
with something else
Examples
fold Natural [ 2, 3, 5 ] Natural (λ(x : Natural) → λ(y : Natural) → x + y) 0
≡ 10
( λ(nil : Natural) →
fold
Natural
[ 2, 3, 5 ]
Natural
(λ(x : Natural) → λ(y : Natural) → x + y)
nil
)
≡ (λ(nil : Natural) → 2 + (3 + (5 + nil)))
( λ(list : Type) →
λ(cons : Natural → list → list) →
λ(nil : list) →
fold Natural [ 2, 3, 5 ] list cons nil
)
≡ ( λ(list : Type) →
λ(cons : Natural → list → list) →
λ(nil : list) →
cons 2 (cons 3 (cons 5 nil))
)
