Prolog by Example

Prolog has a declarative style. A predicate definition includes both the input and output parameters, and it allows a programmer to define a desired result without being concerned about the detailed instructions of how it is to be computed. Such a declarative language offers a solution to the software crisis, because it is shorter and more concise, more powerful and understandable than present-day languages. Logic highlights novel aspects of programming, namely using the same program to compute a relation and its inverse, and supporting deductive retrieval of informa tion. This is a book about using Prolog. Its real point is the examples introduced from Chapter 3 onwards, and so a Prolog programmer does not need to read Chapters 1 and 2, which are oriented more to teachers and to students, respec tively. The book is recommended for introductory and advanced university courses, where students may need to remember the basics about logic program ming and Prolog, before starting doing. Chapters 1 and 2 were also kept for the sake of unity of the whole material. In Chapter 1 a teaching strategy is explained based on the key concepts of Pro log which are novel aspects of programming. Prolog is enhanced as a computer programming language used for solving problems that involve objects and the relationships between objects. This chapter provides a pedagogical tour of pre scriptions for the organization of Prolog programs, by pointing out the main draw backs novices may encounter.

The continued popularity of Prolog and oflogic programming in general has called for a new edition in which we have corrected a few minor errors found in the previous edition. Since the previous edition of this book, the development of Prolog has proceeded with much vigour and creativity on the part of hundreds of researchers around the world. For example, the International Conference on Logic Programming will meet in 1995 for the twelfth time; the Internet newsgroup comp . 1 ang . pro log exchanges many messages daily; and there are numerous World-Wide Web resources of interest to Prolog users. It is no longer posssible to track the many books on Prolog and implementations of Prolog that are now available. The Prolog idea has been extended to new languages for manipulating sets of constraints, functional expressions, type hierarchies, and object-oriented programs. And yet throughout this time the Edinburgh Prolog syntax and semantics have served as a standard and as a base of stability. In tum, we hope that this book can continue to serve as an introduction to the language and its use. Cambridge, England W. F. C. July 1994 C. S. M. PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION We have added new material to Chapter 3 to give an account of up-to-date programming techniques using accumulators and difference structures. Chapter 8 contains some new information on syntax errors. Operator precedences are now compatible with the most widely-used implementations.
