Cardinality of finite types

The cardinality of a finite type α is given by Nat.card α. This function has the "junk value" of 0 for infinite types, but to ensure the function has valid output, one just needs to know that it's possible to produce a Finite instance for the type. (Note: we could have defined a Finite.card that required you to supply a Finite instance, but (a) the function would be noncomputable anyway so there is no need to supply the instance and (b) the function would have a more complicated dependent type that easily leads to "motive not type correct" errors.)

Implementation notes

Theorems about Nat.card are sometimes incidentally true for both finite and infinite types. If removing a finiteness constraint results in no loss in legibility, we remove it. We generally put such theorems into the SetTheory.Cardinal.Finite module.

def Finite.equivFin (α : Type u_4) [Finite α] : α ≃ Fin (Nat.card α)

There is (noncomputably) an equivalence between a finite type α and Fin (Nat.card α).

Equations

• Finite.equivFin α = let_fun this := Nonempty.some ⋯; Eq.mpr ⋯ this

def Finite.equivFinOfCardEq {α : Type u_1} [Finite α] {n : ℕ} (h : Nat.card α = n) : α ≃ Fin n

Similar to Finite.equivFin but with control over the term used for the cardinality.
