Abstract: Martin-Lof's type theory is a theory in which one can write both specifications
and programs. By interpreting propositions as types, predicate logic
is available when formulating a specification. The rules of type theory are
formulated as tactics which makes a top down construction of programs possible.
These ideas are illustrated by a formal derivation of a program for a
partitioning problem. (Update)
