Exercise 2. Conjunction distributes over disjunction.

theorem declaration uses `sorry`exercise2 (P Q R : Prop) :
    P ∧ (Q ∨ R) ↔ (P ∧ Q) ∨ (P ∧ R) := byP:PropQ:PropR:Prop⊢ P ∧ (Q ∨ R) ↔ P ∧ Q ∨ P ∧ R

Exercise 3. Disjunction associates.

theorem declaration uses `sorry`exercise3 (P Q R : Prop) :
    (P ∨ Q) ∨ R → P ∨ (Q ∨ R) := byP:PropQ:PropR:Prop⊢ (P ∨ Q) ∨ R → P ∨ Q ∨ R
