Enter the following in Prolog: like(john, mary). Now there is no way to determine the relationship between john and mary. This is because queries in Prolog find function parameters not the function itself. Here is how to do it in dbd (abridge script):
(create john like mary)
(select john * mary) // displays like
The Prolog examples you gave were fine, however none of them showed the ability to determine the relationship between things.

The significance of knowing the relationship between two things is too basic for me to want to explain :) Received on Sun Apr 30 2006 - 23:43:54 CEST
