Cast of natural numbers #
This file defines the canonical homomorphism from the natural numbers into an
AddMonoid with a one. In additive monoids with one, there exists a unique
such homomorphism and we store it in the natCast : ℕ → R field.
Preferentially, the homomorphism is written as the coercion Nat.cast.
Main declarations #
NatCast: Type class forNat.cast.AddMonoidWithOne: Type class for whichNat.castis a canonical monoid homomorphism fromℕ.Nat.cast: Canonical homomorphismℕ → R.
Recognize numeric literals which are at least 2 as terms of R via Nat.cast. This
instance is what makes things like 37 : R type check. Note that 0 and 1 are not needed
because they are recognized as terms of R (at least when R is an AddMonoidWithOne) through
Zero and One, respectively.

Additive monoids with one #
An AddMonoidWithOne is an AddMonoid with a 1.
It also contains data for the unique homomorphism ℕ → R.
Instances
The canonical map ℕ → R sends 0 : ℕ to 0 : R.
The canonical map ℕ → R is a homomorphism.
An AddCommMonoidWithOne is an AddMonoidWithOne satisfying a + b = b + a.
Instances
Computationally friendlier cast than Nat.unaryCast, using binary representation.
