1. What is Prolog?
Prolog is a logic programming language based on formal logic and used mainly in AI and computational linguistics.
Beginner
2. What does Prolog stand for?
Prolog stands for Programming in Logic.
Beginner
3. What are facts in Prolog?
Facts are basic assertions about objects or relationships.
parent(john, mary).Beginner
4. What are rules in Prolog?
Rules define relationships using logical conditions.
grandparent(X,Y) :- parent(X,Z), parent(Z,Y).Beginner
5. What is a query?
A query asks Prolog to evaluate a goal.
?- parent(john, mary).Beginner
6. What is a predicate?
A predicate defines a relation between objects.
Beginner
7. What is unification?
Unification matches variables with values to satisfy goals.
Beginner
8. What is backtracking?
Prolog’s mechanism to find alternative solutions by reverting to previous states.
Beginner
9. What are variables in Prolog?
Variables start with uppercase letters or underscore.
X, Person, _ValueBeginner
10. What are atoms?
Atoms are constants written in lowercase.
Beginner
11. What are lists?
Lists are ordered collections.
[a,b,c]Beginner
12. What is head and tail in list?
[H|T] where H is first element and T is remaining list.Beginner
13. What is recursion in Prolog?
A rule calling itself to solve smaller instances.
Beginner
14. What is the cut operator?
The
! operator stops backtracking beyond that point.Beginner
15. What is fail predicate?
fail always fails and forces backtracking.Intermediate
16. What is anonymous variable?
The underscore (_) represents a variable whose value is ignored.
Intermediate
17. Difference between = and is?
= checks unification.is evaluates arithmetic expressions.Intermediate

Collects all solutions into a list.
Intermediate
25. What is bagof?
Collects solutions considering variable bindings.
Intermediate

Prevents infinite recursive unification.
Advanced
