Methodology: The paper describes a tutorial on logic programming and Prolog, appropriate for a course on programming languages. It outlines the history of logic programming, provides an overview of the logic programming paradigm, and explains how equations can be solved using unification as atomic actions. It also discusses the structure of Prolog programs, the evaluation of arithmetic expressions, and control facilities.
Methodology: The paper proposes a tutorial approach for teaching logic programming and Prolog to students who are already familiar with imperative programming. It covers the history of logic programming, the logic programming paradigm, and the basics of Prolog.


Results: The paper presents a unification algorithm, a method for solving equations by finding the most general substitution that makes a given equation true. It also describes how Prolog approaches programming with multiple uses of a single program, logical variables, and meta-variables.
Results: The tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of logic programming and Prolog, including their history, key concepts, and practical applications. It also discusses the advantages of Prolog's approach to programming, such as multiple uses of a single program and the use of logical variables.


Implications: The paper suggests that logic programming and Prolog can provide a more efficient approach to problem-solving than traditional programming languages. The ability to use multiple uses of a single program, logical variables, and meta-variables can lead to more concise and expressive programs. Additionally, the use of unification as an atomic action can simplify the process of solving equations.
Implications: By providing a clear and accessible introduction to logic programming and Prolog, the tutorial aims to make these concepts more approachable for students who are new to them. This could potentially broaden the scope of applications that students can develop using these programming languages.

Title: Krzysztof R. Apt

Main Research Question: How can logic programming and Prolog be effectively taught to students familiar with imperative programming?

Methodology: The paper proposes a tutorial approach for teaching logic programming and Prolog to students who are already familiar with imperative programming. It covers the history of logic programming, the logic programming paradigm, and the basics of Prolog.

Results: The tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of logic programming and Prolog, including their history, key concepts, and practical applications. It also discusses the advantages of Prolog's approach to programming, such as multiple uses of a single program and the use of logical variables.

Implications: By providing a clear and accessible introduction to logic programming and Prolog, the tutorial aims to make these concepts more approachable for students who are new to them. This could potentially broaden the scope of applications that students can develop using these programming languages.
