Logic-based programming

Logic-based programming is a programming paradigm that uses formal logic to express facts and rules about problems within a system. Instead of giving step-by-step instructions, programmers define relationships and conditions that must hold true. The computer then uses these logical statements to derive conclusions or make decisions. This approach is particularly effective for solving problems in artificial intelligence, databases, and knowledge representation, as it allows the system to infer new information from existing knowledge. Prolog is a well-known language that exemplifies this model, enabling developers to create complex knowledge systems with relative ease.
