Rule-based programming

Rule-based programming is a method of creating computer programs that operate based on a set of predefined rules or conditions. In this approach, the program makes decisions by following "if-then" logic: if a certain condition is true, then a specific action is taken. This method is often used in expert systems and artificial intelligence to mimic human decision-making. For example, in a medical diagnosis system, if a patient shows certain symptoms, the program can suggest possible conditions based on the established rules. This creates a framework for handling complex knowledge systematically and accurately.
