Formal Logic II
In the context of lambda calculus, a type is a classification that dictates the kinds of values that expressions can take and the operations that can be performed on them. Types serve as a way to ensure that functions are applied to compatible arguments, which can help prevent errors in computations. By introducing types, we can also formalize the concept of function application and provide a framework for reasoning about the behavior of programs.
congrats on reading the definition of type. now let's actually learn it.
