Constraint Logic Programming

Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) is a programming paradigm that combines concepts from logic programming and constraint satisfaction. In CLP, problems are formulated as a set of constraints or conditions that must be satisfied. The program searches for solutions that meet these constraints, making it particularly useful for solving complex problems like scheduling, resource allocation, and optimization tasks. By focusing on relationships and rules rather than fixed procedures, CLP allows for more flexible and efficient problem-solving, enabling computers to reason about possibilities and find answers that satisfy all specified requirements.
