10.2.3 Subtypes

TBoS p.269-272

A is a subtype of B if every inhabitant of A is an inhabitant of B. Here we define subtype and also the type int of all integers. We declare that int is a subtype of number, that anything that passes the integer? test is an int and that +, - and * can be used to construct ints. We can now verify the type of +int.


(1+) (datatype subtype
  
   (subtype A B); X : A;
   _____________________
   X : B;)
type#subtype : symbol
   
(2+) (datatype int

  if (integer? N)
  ________________
  N : int;
  
  ____________________
  (subtype int number);
  
  if (element? F [+ - *])
  __________________________
  F : (int --> int --> int);)   
type#int : symbol
  
(3+) (define +int
  {int --> number --> number}
   M N -> (+ M N))  
 +int : (int --> (number --> number))
