Countable and uncountable types #
In this file we define a typeclass Countable
saying that a given Sort*
is countable
and a typeclass Uncountable
saying that a given Type*
is uncountable.
See also Encodable
for a version that singles out
a specific encoding of elements of α
by natural numbers.
This file also provides a few instances of these typeclasses. More instances can be found in other files.
