 %\item%#<li># Define an inductive type [truth] with three constructors, [Yes], [No], and [Maybe].  [Yes] stands for certain truth, [False] for certain falsehood, and [Maybe] for an unknown situation.  Define "not," "and," and "or" for this replacement boolean algebra.  Prove that your implementation of "and" is commutative and distributes over your implementation of "or."#</li>#
 
-%\item%#<li># Modify the first example language of Chapter 1 to include variables, where variables are represented with [nat].  Extend the syntax and semantics of expressions to accommodate the change.  Your new [expDenote] function should take as a new extra first argument a value of type [var -> nat], where [var] is a synonym for naturals-as-variables, and the function assigns a value to each variable.  Define a constant folding function which does a bottom-up pass over an expression, at each stage replacing every binary operation on constants with an equivalent constant.  Prove that constant folding preserves the meanings of expressions.#</li>#

-%\item%#<li># Reimplement the second example language of Chapter 1 to use mutually-inductive types instead of dependent types.  That is, define two separate (non-dependent) inductive types [nat_exp] and [bool_exp] for expressions of the two different types, rather than a single indexed type.  To keep things simple, you may consider only the binary operators that take naturals as operands.  Add natural number variables to the language, as in the last exercise, and add an "if" expression form taking as arguments one boolean expression and two natural number expressions.  Define semantics and constant-folding functions for this new language.  Your constant folding should simplify not just binary operations (returning naturals or booleans) with known arguments, but also "if" expressions with known values for their test expressions but possibly undetermined "then" and "else" cases.  Prove that constant-folding a natural number expression preserves its meaning.#</li>#

 %\item%#<li># Using a reflexive inductive definition, define a type [nat_tree] of infinitary trees, with natural numbers at their leaves and a countable infinity of new trees branching out of each internal node.  Define a function [increment] that increments the number in every leaf of a [nat_tree].  Define a function [leapfrog] over a natural [i] and a tree [nt].  [leapfrog] should recurse into the [i]th child of [nt], the [i+1]st child of that node, the [i+2]nd child of the next node, and so on, until reaching a leaf, in which case [leapfrog] should return the number at that leaf.  Prove that the result of any call to [leapfrog] is incremented by one by calling [increment] on the tree.#</li>#
