What is logic programming?
Logic programming is a programming paradigm, which basically means it is a way to approach programming. Before we talk about what it constitutes and how it is relevant in Artificial Intelligence (AI), let's talk a bit about programming paradigms.
The concept of programming paradigms originates from the need to classify programming languages. It refers to the way computer programs solve problems through code.
Some programming paradigms are primarily concerned with implications or the sequence of operations used to achieve a particular result. Other programming paradigms are concerned about how we organize the code.
Here are some of the more popular programming paradigms:
- Imperative: Uses statements to change a program's state, thus allowing for side effects.
- Functional: Treats computation as an evaluation of mathematical functions and does not allow changing states or mutable data.
- Declarative: A way of programming where...
