element in an empty vector would give a compile time type error, since it would force n to be Z. Implicit Arguments Let us take a closer look at the type of index: index : Fin n -> Vect n a -> a It takes not declared explicitly. These are implicit arguments to index. We could also write the type of index as: index : {a:Type} -> {n:Nat} -> Fin n -> Vect n a -> a Implicit arguments, given in braces {} in the declaration, which is not applied to any arguments, will always be automatically bound as an implicit argument. Implicit arguments can still be given explicitly in applications, using {a=value} and {n=value}

match from the overload set of candidate functions. If necessary, apply some necessary argument conversions. ## Overview  Exact/identity match void f( const int& ); // Trivial conversions void f( double ); // Standard conversions void f( Widget ); // User-defined conversions void f( int, int = 0 ); // Default arguments void f( function (static or non-static), but not a constructor, it is treated as if it has an extra parameter (implicit object parameter) which represents the object for which they are called and appears before the first

more than 10 lines long. Beware of destructors, which are often longer than they appear because of implicit member- and base-destructor calls! Another useful rule of thumb: it’s typically not cost effective correctly). ## I mplicit Conversions Do not define implicit conversions. Use the explicit keyword for conversion operators and single-argument constructors. Implicit conversions allow an object of one addition to the implicit conversions defined by the language, users can define their own, by adding appropriate members to the class definition of the source or destination type.

smaller type to a larger type (for example int16 -> int32). In Nim only widening type conversions are implicit. var myInt16 = 5i16 var myInt: int myInt16 + 34 # of type `int16` myInt16 + myInt # of literal's value fits this smaller type and such a conversion is less expensive than other implicit conversions, so myInt16 + 34 produces an int16 result. For further details, see Convertible relation though the conversion is implicit, it is not safe: The garbage collector does not consider a cstring to be a root and may collect the underlying memory. For this reason, the implicit conversion will be removed
