# Data.List

data Elem : a -> List a -> Type

  A proof that some element is found in a list.

  Example: `the (Elem "bar" ["foo", "bar", "baz"]) (tactics { search })`

  Here : Elem x (x :: xs)

    A proof that the element is at the front of the list.

    Example: `the (Elem "a" ["a", "b"]) Here`

  There : (later : Elem x xs) -> Elem x (y :: xs)

    A proof that the element is after the front of the list

    Example: `the (Elem "b" ["a", "b"]) (There Here)`

dropElem : (xs : List a) -> (p : Elem x xs) -> List a

  Remove the element at the given position.

  xs

    The list to be removed from

  p

    A proof that the element to be removed is in the list

hereIsNotThere : Not (Here = There later)

  `Here` will never equal `There`.

intersect : Eq a => List a -> List a -> List a

  Compute the intersection of two lists according to their `Eq` implementation.

      intersect [1, 2, 3, 4] [2, 4, 6, 8]

intersectBy : (a -> a -> Bool) -> List a -> List a -> List a

  The intersectBy function returns the intersect of two lists by user-supplied equality predicate.

isElem : DecEq a => (x : a) -> (xs : List a) -> Dec (Elem x xs)

  Is the given element a member of the given list.

  x

    The element to be tested.

  xs

    The list to be checked against

neitherHereNorThere : Not (x = y) -> Not (Elem x xs) -> Not (Elem x (y :: xs))

  An item not in the head and not in the tail is not in the List at all

tailMismatch : Not (this = that) -> Not (There this = There that)

  If the tails don't match, neither will references to them.
