Abstract

This chapter draws examples from Wadler’s paper [1] to demonstrate the correspondence between natural deduction for intuitionistic logic and simply-typed \(\lambda \)-calculus—both concepts are built upon previously discussed topics. We also give examples in a programming language to help the reader relate logic to program code.
