\section{The \code{Arity} domain}

<<domain ARITY Arity>>=
)abbrev domain ARITY Arity
++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
++ Date Created: December 04, 2008
++ Date Last Updated: December 04, 2008
++ Description:
++   This domain implements the arity of a function or an operator,
++   e.g. the number of arguments that an operator can take.  An 
++   arity is either a definition nonnegative integer, and the special
++   value `arbitrary', signifying that an operation can take any
++   number of arguments.
Arity(): Public == Private where
  Public == Join(SetCategory, RetractableTo NonNegativeInteger) with
    arbitrary: %
      ++ aribitrary is the arity of a function that accepts any
      ++ number of arguments.
  Private == add
    Rep == SingleInteger
    arbitrary == per(-1)
    hash x == hash rep x
    x = y == rep x = rep y
    coerce(x: %): OutputForm == 
      x = arbitrary => 'arbitrary::OutputForm
      rep(x)::OutputForm
    coerce(n: NonNegativeInteger): % == 
      max()$SingleInteger < n => 
        error "arity is too large for OpenAxiom"
      per(n::SingleInteger)
    retractIfCan x ==
      (n := rep x) < 0 => "failed"

\section{Operator Interface: \code{OperatorCategory}}

<<category OPERCAT OperatorCategory>>=
)abbrev category OPERCAT OperatorCategory
++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
++ Date Created: December 04, 2008
++ Date Last Updated: December 17, 2008
++ Description:
++   This category specifies the interface for operators used to build
++   terms, in the sense of Universal Algebra.  The domain parameter S
++   provides representation for the `external name' of an operator.
OperatorCategory(S: SetCategory): Category ==
    SetCategory with
      name: % -> S
        ++ name(op) returns the externam name of `op'.
      arity: % -> Arity
        ++ arity(op) returns the arity of the operator `op'.
  add
    coerce(op: %): OutputForm == name(op)::OutputForm
