Abstract
A description is given of Prolog, a contraction of PROgramming in LOGic, which uses the formalism of mathematical logic as its primary design principle. The structure of Prolog is examined, and a database program is described to illustrate its application. An application to an artificial intelligence problem, the Towers of Hanoi, is also given.
