Answer Set Programming

Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a form of declarative programming used to solve complex problems by describing what the solution should satisfy rather than how to find it. You specify rules and constraints that define the problem, and the ASP system automatically computes "answer sets"—solutions that meet all conditions. Think of it as setting up a detailed puzzle: once all the rules are in place, the system figures out the arrangements that fit. ASP is useful in areas like planning, scheduling, and decision-making, providing clear, logical representations that help automate complex reasoning tasks.
