Abstract

PROLOG is an interpreted (non-procedural) language. It belongs to declarative programming languages - it suppresses the imperative 1) component. PROLOG is mainly used in the field of artificial intelligence and in computational linguistics (especially for natural language processing, for which it was originally designed). PROLOG is based on predicate logic. The basic approaches used are unification (special substitution), recursion, and backtracking (a method of depth-first search).
