noncomputable def Classical.indefiniteDescription {α : Sort u} (p : α → Prop) (h : ∃ (x : α), p x) : { x : α // p x }

Equations

• Classical.indefiniteDescription p h = Classical.choice ⋯

noncomputable def Classical.choose {α : Sort u} {p : α → Prop} (h : ∃ (x : α), p x) : α

Given that there exists an element satisfying p, returns one such element.

This is a straightforward consequence of, and equivalent to, Classical.choice.

See also choose_spec, which asserts that the returned value has property p.
