Logic Programming Systems

Logic programming systems are software tools that solve problems by using formal rules and logical reasoning. Instead of step-by-step instructions, they specify facts and rules about a problem domain. The system then logically deduces new information or finds solutions by applying these rules, much like how a detective pieces together clues. Examples include Prolog, which is used for tasks like scheduling, natural language processing, and expert systems. These systems are powerful for tasks requiring complex decision-making and reasoning, allowing programmers to focus on defining the problem logically rather than describing explicit procedures.
