This is a remake of theP – (*******************************: Ninety-Nine Prolog Problemscollection that I assembled over several years of teaching at the University of Applied Sciences (Berner Fachhochschuleat Biel-Bienne, Switzerland. The collection is structured into seven sections. I have renumbered the problems in order to get more freedom to rearrange things within the sections.
The purpose of this problem collection is to give you the opportunity to practice your skills in logic programming. Your goal should be to find the most elegant solution of the given problems. Efficiency is important, but logical clarity is even more crucial. Some of the (easy) problems can be trivially solved using built-in predicates. However, in these cases, you learn more if you try to find your own solution.
Every predicate that you write should begin with a comment that describes the predicate in adeclarativestatement. Donotdescribe procedurally,whatthe predicate does, but write down alogical statementwhich includes the arguments of the predicate. You should also indicate the intended data types of the arguments and the allowed flow patterns.
The problems have different levels of difficulty. Those marked with a single asterisk
You can findsolutions.of the problems at the end of each section. All programs have been tested on theSWI-Prologsystem.
