EXPERIMENT 8 NAME: SANNIT AREKAR

ROLL NO: 4

BATCH: T11

AIM: Write simple programs using PROLOG as an AI


programming language

THEORY:
1. What is PROLOG:
● Prolog stands for programming in logic. In the logic programming
paradigm, prolog language is most widely available. Prolog is a
declarative language, which means that a program consists of data based
on the facts and rules (Logical relationship) rather than computing how
to find a solution. A logical relationship describes the relationships
which hold for the given application.
● To obtain the solution, the user asks a question rather than running a
program. When a user asks a question, then to determine the answer, the
run time system searches through the database of facts and rules.
● The first Prolog was 'Marseille Prolog', which is based on work by
Colmerauer. The major example of fourth-generation programming
language was prolog. It supports the declarative programming
paradigm.
● Prolog is a declarative language that means we can specify what

problem we want to solve rather than how to solve it.

● In artificial intelligence applications, prolog is used. The artificial

intelligence applications can be automated reasoning systems, natural


language interfaces, and expert systems. The expert system consists of
an interface engine and a database of facts. The prolog's run time system
provides the service of an interface engine.
Key Features :
1. Unification : The basic idea is, can the given terms be made to
represent the same structure.
2. Backtracking : When a task fails, prolog traces backwards and
tries to satisfy the previous task.
3. Recursion : Recursion is the basis for any search in a program.
Advantages : akes it easier to play with any algorithm
involving lists.

Disadvantages :
1.LISP (another logic programming language) dominates over
prolog with respect to I/O features.
2. Sometimes input and output is not easy.

Applications :

○ Specification Language

○ Robot Planning

○ Natural language understanding

○ Machine Learning

○ Problem Solving

○ Intelligent Database retrieval

○ Expert System

○ Automated Reasoning

CODE:
happy(lili) :- dances(lili). hungry(tom) :-
search_for_food(tom). friends(jack, bili) :-
lovesCricket(jack), lovesCricket(bili).
goToPlay(ryan) :- isClosed(school), free(ryan).
cat(tom). loves_to_eat(kunal,pasta).
of_color(hair,black).
loves_to_play_games(nawaz). lazy(pratyusha).

OUTPUT:

CONCLUSION: Hence we have implemented simple


programs using PROLOG as an AI programming language.
