Converting Coq term in AST form to polish notation using Python

Say I have an arbitrary Coq Term (in AST format using s-expressions/sexp) for example:

n = n + n

and I want to automatically convert it to:

= n + n n

by traversing the AST tree (which is simple a nested list of lists because of the sexp). Is there a standard library in Python that might be able to do this?

Right now if I were to write down the algorithm/pesudocode I would do (assuming I can convert the sexp to some actual tree object):

def ToPolish():
    '''
    "postfix" tree traversal
    '''
    text = ''
    for node in root.children:
        if node is atoms:
            text := text + node.text
        else:
            text := text + ToPolish(node,text)
    return text

which I think this is close but I think there is a small bug somewhere...


example AST:

 (ObjList
  ((CoqGoal
    ((fg_goals
      (((name 4)
        (ty
         (App
          (Ind
           (((Mutind (MPfile (DirPath ((Id Logic) (Id Init) (Id Coq))))
              (DirPath ()) (Id eq))
             0)
            (Instance ())))
          ((Ind
            (((Mutind (MPfile (DirPath ((Id Datatypes) (Id Init) (Id Coq))))
               (DirPath ()) (Id nat))
              0)
             (Instance ())))
           (App
            (Const
             ((Constant (MPfile (DirPath ((Id Nat) (Id Init) (Id Coq))))
               (DirPath ()) (Id add))
              (Instance ())))
            ((Construct
              ((((Mutind
                  (MPfile (DirPath ((Id Datatypes) (Id Init) (Id Coq))))
                  (DirPath ()) (Id nat))
                 0)
                1)
               (Instance ())))
             (Var (Id n))))
           (Var (Id n)))))
        (hyp
         ((((Id n)) ()
           (Ind
            (((Mutind (MPfile (DirPath ((Id Datatypes) (Id Init) (Id Coq))))
               (DirPath ()) (Id nat))
              0)
             (Instance ())))))))))
     (bg_goals ()) (shelved_goals ()) (given_up_goals ())))))

the above is simply:

 (ObjList
  ((CoqString  "\
              \n  n : nat\
              \n============================\
              \n0 + n = n"))))

or

= n + n n

Using sexp parser:

[Symbol('Answer'), 2, [Symbol('ObjList'), [[Symbol('CoqGoal'), [[Symbol('fg_goals'), [[[Symbol('name'), 4], [Symbol('ty'), [Symbol('App'), [Symbol('Ind'), [[[Symbol('Mutind'), [Symbol('MPfile'), [Symbol('DirPath'), [[Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Logic')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Init')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Coq')]]]], [Symbol('DirPath'), []], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('eq')]], 0], [Symbol('Instance'), []]]], [[Symbol('Ind'), [[[Symbol('Mutind'), [Symbol('MPfile'), [Symbol('DirPath'), [[Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Datatypes')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Init')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Coq')]]]], [Symbol('DirPath'), []], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('nat')]], 0], [Symbol('Instance'), []]]], [Symbol('App'), [Symbol('Const'), [[Symbol('Constant'), [Symbol('MPfile'), [Symbol('DirPath'), [[Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Nat')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Init')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Coq')]]]], [Symbol('DirPath'), []], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('add')]], [Symbol('Instance'), []]]], [[Symbol('Construct'), [[[[Symbol('Mutind'), [Symbol('MPfile'), [Symbol('DirPath'), [[Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Datatypes')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Init')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Coq')]]]], [Symbol('DirPath'), []], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('nat')]], 0], 1], [Symbol('Instance'), []]]], [Symbol('Var'), [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('n')]]]], [Symbol('Var'), [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('n')]]]]], [Symbol('hyp'), [[[[Symbol('Id'), Symbol('n')]], [], [Symbol('Ind'), [[[Symbol('Mutind'), [Symbol('MPfile'), [Symbol('DirPath'), [[Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Datatypes')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Init')], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('Coq')]]]], [Symbol('DirPath'), []], [Symbol('Id'), Symbol('nat')]], 0], [Symbol('Instance'), []]]]]]]]]], [Symbol('bg_goals'), []], [Symbol('shelved_goals'), []], [Symbol('given_up_goals'), []]]]]]]

I have looked at your gigantic list.

At the top/root, we have:

`['Answer', 2, nested_list]`

Okay, it looks like 'Answer' is the operator. 'Answer' has two arguments, 2 and nested_list

Therefore, in English, it is saying "The answer to nested_list is 2"
What if we go deeper?

['Answer', 2, ['ObjList', 'nested_list']]

Well, now we have:

Answer(2, ObjList(nested_list))

Even deeper, we see...

['Answer',
    2,
    ['ObjList',
        [
            ['CoqGoal',                    
                 ['list', 'list', 'list', 'list']
            ]
        ]
    ]
]

It looks to me like your list of lists is already in pre-fix order. Be sure to leave me some comments if not. Maybe all that remains is to convert it to a string? Again, I'm not sure what you want.


In infix notation, operators (+, *, etc...) are also delimiters.

However, in prefix notation (aka "Polish notation") there is more of a need for delimiters.

The output = n + n n is highly ambiguous. This is compared to, =(n, +(n,n)), which is very clear.

I have written a program which uses the delimiters (, ), and ,. However, you can get rid of them by setting:

open_delim  = ""           
close_delim = "" 
comma_delim = ""

On a small trial run, we have:

TEST_DATA1 = ["+", 2, ["+", 1, 1, 1]  ]

# you can put **ALL** of the inputs to update_args
# inside of the constructor call. However, it is
# then very difficult to read.

loligag = Lol2Str(open_delim="(", close_delim=")")
loligag.update_args(comma_delim =",")
loligag.update_args(is_operaND= lambda x: isinstance(x, int))
loligag.update_args(is_operaTOR = lambda x: x == "+")

loligag(TEST_DATA1, file = sys.stdout)

The output is:

+(2+(1,1,1))

You can set the delimiters to be space characters. That is more like your original example of = n + n n instead of =(n, +(n, n))

loligag = Lol2Str(open_delim=" ", close_delim=" ")
loligag.update_args(comma_delim=" ")
loligag.update_args(is_operaND=lambda x: isinstance(x, int))
loligag.update_args(is_operaTOR=lambda x: x == "+")
loligag(TEST_DATA1, file=sys.stdout)

Output:

+ 2+ 1 1 1 

All of your lists elements are either symbols, like Symbol('ty') or integers, such as 4. If I am to fully answer your question, then I need to know which of things like Symbol('ty') are operators and which are operands.

If I run the code on your data...

loligag = Lol2Str(open_delim="(", close_delim=")")
loligag.update_args(comma_delim =",")
loligag.update_args(is_operaND= lambda x: isinstance(x, type(99)))
loligag.update_args(is_operaTOR = lambda x: isinstance(x, Symbol))
r = loligag(L, file = sys.stdout)
print("\nreturned: ", r)

The output is...

 Answer(2ObjList((CoqGoal(fg_goals(name(4)ty(App(Ind((Mutind(MPfile(DirPath((IdLogicId(Init)Id(Coq))))DirPath([])Id(eq)),0Instance([])))(Ind(Mutind(MPfile(DirPath((IdDatatypesId(Init)Id(Coq))))DirPath([])Id(nat)),0Instance([]))App(Const((ConstantMPfile(DirPath((IdNatId(Init)Id(Coq))))DirPath([])Id(add)Instance([])))(Construct((MutindMPfile(DirPath((IdDatatypesId(Init)Id(Coq))))DirPath([])Id(nat),0),1Instance([]))Var(Id(n))))Var(Id(n)))))hyp(((Idn)[]Ind((Mutind(MPfile(DirPath((IdDatatypesId(Init)Id(Coq))))DirPath([])Id(nat)),0Instance([]))))))bg_goals([])shelved_goals([])given_up_goals([])))))

... which is clearly wrong.

You've got a lot of empty lists. Clearly, [Symbol("+"), 1, 2, 3] makes sense. So does [Symbol("+"), 1, [Symbol("+"), 1, 1], 3]. However, what is [Symbol("+"), 1, [], 3] supposed to mean? is the [] is supposed to be an operand?
