1 Reference: Ch CS 360: Programming Language Concepts Lecture 15 Logic Programming I. Logic Programming (Generally) What is logic programming? A logic program is a collection of declarations, i.e. things that are true A logic program is executed by running queries against the program Most logic programing languages incorporate unification and backtracking What are some examples of logic programming languages? Prolog SQL Mercury ( Why would anyone program in a logic programming language? II. Prolog Many complex problems can be expressed as a queries against a set of declarations Unification and backtracking are applicable to a wide range of problems Example: the pegs game ( Overview of Prolog Untyped Uses top-down resolution, or backward-chaining Uses depth-first search 1

2 Syntax clause-seq clause clause-seq clause term opt-clause-tail. opt-clause-tail :- term-list term-list term, term-list term term CONST opt-args opt-args ( expr-list ) expr-list expr, expr-list expr expr [ opt-expr-list opt-list-tail ] ILIT CONST VAR _ opt-expr-list expr-list opt-list-tail expr ILIT = (SIGN ) DIGIT DIGIT VAR = UCHAR (UCHAR LCHAR _) CONST = LCHAR (UCHAR LCHAR _) SIGN = + - DIGIT = UCHAR = A... Z LCHAR = a... z The above is actually the syntax of programs. followed by a period (.). A query is just a term 2
