In these notes we’ll see how Prolog can be used to solve various combinatorial problems. ?- solve_triple1(A, B, C). A = 3, B = 4, C = 5 ; A = 4, B = 3, C = 5 ; A = 6, B = 8, C = 10 ; A = 8, B = 6, C = ...

What all this means is that logical reasoning, first order predicate calculus to be precise, can swallow expert systems whole and still have some power left over. For example, the IF..THEN rule can be ...

Like many people who read Hackaday, we are fairly fluent in a number of computer languages, but we have to admit it is easier to pick up languages that look like they group with things like Fortran.

Prolog - is it just a blast from the past only of interest to AI and strange language enthusiasts? Or could it just be the ultimate NoSQL database capable of things that are difficult to do without it ...
