 Given the above, can you figure out how to define the `succ` function? We already worked through the definition of `cons`, and this is just a simplification of that, so you should be able to do it. We'll make it a homework.
 
-We saw that using the `cons` operation and `[]` as arguments to `fold_right` over a list gave us back that very same list. In the Lambda Calculus, that would come down to:
