Disregard my previous mail, because I realized that your Sub is correct except (Succ a). Sorry for the confusion. New definition below
type family (Sub (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nat
type instance Sub a Zero = a
type instance Sub Zero b = Zero
type instance Sub (Succ a) (Succ b) = Sub a b

Changed your Sub code to this and drop works now. You drop function
drop SZero vcons = vcons so you are returning the second vector if first one is empty (length Zero).
type family (Sub (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nat
type instance Sub a Zero = a
type instance Sub Zero b = b
type instance Sub (Succ a) (Succ b) = Sub a b
No use of Min in your code, but I changed it anyway.
type family (Min (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nat
type instance Min Zero b = Zero
type instance Min a Zero = Zero
type instance Min (Succ a) (Succ b) = Succ (Min a b)
I am not able to compile your tail code, so could you please paste your whole code github, or any preferred link which you like.
I am getting Not in scope: type constructor or class ‘:<’

Thank you so much! Indeed changing the definition of `Add` helps solve the problem.Following this idea, I changed the definition of `Minus` and `Min` also. Now they are defined astype family (Sub (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nattype instance Sub (Succ a) Zero = Succ a
type instance Sub Zero b = Zero
type instance Sub (Succ a) (Succ b) = Sub a b
type family (Min (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nat
type instance Min Zero Zero = Zero
type instance Min Zero (Succ b) = Zero
type instance Min (Succ a) Zero = Zero
type instance Min (Succ a) (Succ b) = Succ (Min a b)The change, however, breaks the `tail` and `drop` function.drop :: SNat a -> Vec s b -> Vec s (Sub b a)drop SZero vcons = vconsdrop (SSucc a) (VCons x xs) = drop a xstail :: ((Zero :< a) ~ True) => Vec s a -> Vec s (Sub a (Succ Zero))tail (VCons x xs) = xsSo why does the code break and what would be the solution? The error message seems to confirm that even right now GHD still does not support type expansion.

Hi Quentin,
I changed your pattern little bit in Add function and it is working
fine. I think the problem was that type of (VCons x xs) ++++ b is Vec
v (Add (Succ m1) + n) which was not present in your
Add function pattern.
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE InstanceSigs #-}
module Tmp where
data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat
data SNat a where
SZero :: SNat Zero
SSucc :: SNat a -> SNat (Succ a)
data Vec a n where
VNil :: Vec a Zero
VCons :: a -> Vec a n -> Vec a (Succ n)
type family (Add (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nat
type instance Add Zero b = b
type instance Add (Succ a) b = Succ (Add a b)
(++++) :: Vec v m -> Vec v n -> Vec v (Add m n)
VNil ++++ b = b
(VCons x xs) ++++ b = VCons x $ xs ++++ b

Hi all,______________________________
I was doing the “Singletons” problem at codewars[1]. The basic idea is to
use dependent types to encode the length of the vector in types.
It uses
data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat
data SNat a where
SZero :: SNat Zero
SSucc :: SNat a -> SNat (Succ a)
to do the encoding.
The vector is defined based on the natural number encoding:
data Vec a n where
VNil :: Vec a Zero
VCons :: a -> Vec a n -> Vec a (Succ n)
There are some type families declared for manipulating the natural numbers,
and one of them that is relevant to the question is
type family (Add (a :: Nat) (b :: Nat)) :: Nat
type instance Add Zero b = b
type instance Add a Zero = a
type instance Add (Succ a) (Succ b) = Succ (Succ (Add a b))
where the `Add` function adds natural numbers.
The problem I am stuck with is the concatenation of two vectors:
(++) :: Vec v m -> Vec v n -> Vec v (Add m n)
VNil ++ b = b
(VCons x xs) ++ b = VCons x $ xs ++ b
The program would not compile because the compiler found that `VCons x $ xs
++ b`gives type `Vec v (Succ (Add n1 n))`, which does not follow the
declared type `Vec v (Add m n)`. Is it because ghc does not expand `Add m n’
that the type does not match? I read Brent Yorgey’s blog on type-level
programming[2] and he mentioned that would not automatically expand types.
But the posted time of the blog is 2010 and I am wondering if there is any
improvement to the situation since then? Besides, what would be the solution
to this problem
Warm Regards,
