\begin{warn}

A common mistake when writing definitions is to introduce extra free
|
|
|
8 |
variables on the right-hand side as in the following fictitious definition:
|
|
|
9 |
@{term[display,quotes]"prime(p) == 1 < p & (m dvd p --> (m=1 | m=p))"}
|
|
9792
|
10 |
where @{text"dvd"} means ``divides''.
|
|
|
11 |
Isabelle rejects this ``definition'' because of the extra @{term"m"} on the
|
|
9458
|
12 |
right-hand side, which would introduce an inconsistency (why?). What you
|
|

|
13 |
should have written is
|
|
9844
|
14 |
@{term[display,quotes]"prime(p) == 1 < p & (!m. m dvd p --> (m=1 | m=p))"}
|
