Problem Solving With Prolog Direct

Prolog is famous for solving complex logical puzzles with very little code:

Logical implications (e.g., grandparent(X, Z) :- parent(X, Y), parent(Y, Z). means X is a grandparent of Z if X is a parent of Y AND Y is a parent of Z). Problem Solving with Prolog

Questions you ask the system (e.g., ?- grandparent(bob, Who). ). 2. How Prolog "Thinks" Prolog solves problems using two primary mechanisms: Prolog is famous for solving complex logical puzzles

In most languages, you tell the computer how to solve a problem (imperative). In Prolog, you describe what the problem is (declarative). In Prolog, you describe what the problem is (declarative)

Basic truths about your world (e.g., parent(bob, alice). means Bob is a parent of Alice).

If Prolog reaches a dead end while searching for an answer, it automatically "steps back" and tries a different path. This makes it incredibly powerful for solving puzzles where you have to explore many possibilities. 3. Classic Problem-Solving Examples
