LEARNING PROLOG VIA EXAMPLES

---

I designed this subsite to enable novices to Prolog to learn basics of this language. I use examples of "real" programs to show features of Prolog. The lessons start with trivial examples to learn basic program structures and methodology, and continue with more advanced programs which show how to implement algorithms in Prolog and how to solve problems using Prolog.

I welcome your comments and suggestions to this site.

TABLE OF CONTENTS (click on the title of chosen lesson to get there)

1. Genealogy database (you first steps with Prolog)
2. Data Structures (Basics-Dates example; Lists)
3. Data Flow and Recursion (working with recursive data structures)
   • List Processor (generalized program for list processing)
4. Combinatorics (permutations, combinations, variations)
5. Arithmetics Expressions (evaluation and compilation)
   • Boolean Expressions (evaluation and normalization)
6. Sorting (sorting algorithms)
7. Terms and Operators (basic Prolog data structure)
8. Sets (representation and operations)
9. Graphs (representation, coloring, isomorfism, search)
   • Graphs in General (general algorithm schema for search)
10. Meta-Programming (meta-interpreters etc.)
11. How does it work? (some "difficult" features of Prolog)
12. ??? (the further contents depends on your reactions)
