Course Objectives The objective of this course is to teach different logic programming concepts via programming practices realized by using different logic programming languages. The students will be able to compare how different logic programming concepts are handled in different type of languages. The students get a chance to apply their knowledge by completing homework assignments written in example logic programming languages.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Gain necessary knowledge for LISP/Prolog programming.
  • Discuss main constructs of logic programming languages.
  • Comprehend the basic differences between logic programming and imperative, functional, and object-oriented languages.
  • Identify practical/suitable usage areas for logic programming.
Course Content Lisp programming: symbolic expressions, elementary functions, Lambda notation, forms, functions, list structures, Prolog programming: facts, rules, relationships; data structures; backtracking; input/output; built-in predicates.
