Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> location(desk, office).
yes
> location(desk, office1).
no
> location(X, Y).
X = desk Y = office
X = apple Y = kitchen
X = flashlight Y = desk
X = 'washing machine' Y = cellar
X = nani Y = 'washing machine'
X = broccoli Y = kitchen
X = crackers Y = kitchen
X = computer Y = office
no
> door(kitchen, R), location(T, R).
R = office T = desk
R = office T = computer
R = cellar T = 'washing machine'
noSimple Prolog supports following built-ins: write, tab, nl and fail.
You can use them to display values of variables or text:
Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> room(X), tab, write(X), nl.
kitchen
X = kitchen
office
X = office
hall
X = hall
'dinning room'
X = 'dinning room'
cellar
X = cellar
no
>
or if you do not want to see the solutions just print out:
> write('This is the list of rooms:'), nl, room(X), tab, write(X), nl, fail.
'This is the list of rooms:'
kitchen
office
hall
'dinning room'
cellar
no
>
You can also perform simple arithmetic operations. For example given following rule:
c_to_f(C, F) :- F is C * 9 / 5 + 32.
You can ask Prolog to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit:
Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> c_to_f(0, F).
F = 32.0
yes
> c_to_f(100, F).
F = 212.0
yes
>
You can also ask Prolog REPL to do calculation directly:
Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> Z is 4 * 10 - 2 * 4.
Z = 32.0
yes
> Z is 4 * (10 - 2) * 4.
Z = 128.0
yes
>
Following logical operators are supported:
==
=/
<
=<
>
>=
Here is an example of rule that uses logical operator:
freezing(X) :- X =< 32.
Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> freezing(30).
yes
>
Or you can use it directly from REPL:
Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> X is 2+2, X > 1.
yes
> X is 2+2, X > 5.
no
>
Simple Prolog also has support for lists. Here are some examples:
Welcome to Simple Prolog
ctrl-c to quit
> rgb([red, green, blue]).
yes
> rgb([R, G, B]).
R = red G = green B = blue
yes
> rgb([_, G, _]).
G = green
yes
> rgb([R, green, B]).
R = red B = blue
yes
> rgb([red, green | H]).
H = [blue]
yes
> rgb([H | T]).
H = red T = [green, blue]
yes
> rgb([H | [X, Y]]).
H = red X = green Y = blue
yes
>

Install pyprolog:
pip install pieprologHere is an example how to use PyProlog as a library:
from prolog import Scanner, Parser, Runtime
def main():
source = '''
location(computer, office).
location(knife, kitchen).
location(chair, office).
location(shoe, hall).
isoffice(X) :- location(computer, X), location(chair, X).
'''
tokens = Scanner(source).tokenize()
rules = Parser(tokens).parse_rules()
runtime = Runtime(rules)
goal_text = 'location(X, office).'
goal = Parser(Scanner(goal_text).tokenize()).parse_terms()
x = goal.args[0]
has_solution = False
for index, item in enumerate(runtime.execute(goal)):
has_solution = True
print(str(item))
print(str(goal.match(item).get(x)))
if has_solution:
print('Query has solution')
else:
print('Query has no solution')
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()This was inspired and based on this article
