- [[assumption-tactic|assumption]] : Search the assumed hypotheses to match with the goal.
[assumption tactic - Formalizing Mathematics - Metha](https://b-mehta.github.io/formalising-mathematics-notes/Part_2/tactics/XXX.html)
NOTE: For closing one goal, use the [[exact-show]] idiom. For closing multiple goals implicitly, use this tactic together with the `<;>` do operator. The article below mentions this near the end article:
- You can do `constructor <;> assumption`. The `<;>` means “do `constructor` and then do `assumption` on all goals produced by `constructor` tactic.
