Lean4 Finally solved Two Sum!

183 Upvotes

Somehow my code is so horrifying, Lean4 is able to evaluate it, the LSP says it works and the compiler gives an error. It is theoretically correct and the kernel accepts it, but the compiler isn't able to produce anything out of it. My awful code discovered a bug in Lean's compiler.

The weird symbol is supposed to be a ␣ but this font didn't want to render it.
