Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive programmer's reference guide is designed for quick access and easy interpretation. A high-level resource, it provides concise, detailed information for designing, organizing, troubleshooting and debugging. Emphasis is on Turbo Prolog, but the scope is broad enough to include other major Prolog releases, ie, DEC Prolog and MicroProlog. The book covers the construction of facts, objects and rules within Prolog syntax and Turbo Prolog construction. Going on to discuss organization of program listings and techniques for controlling execution, it explains the predefined predicates and their use, along with file creation and access, graphics and sound. Also included is a set of appendixes including an ASCII code reference chart, a quick guide to built-in predicates and goals, a Prolog-to-Turbo Prolog conversion chart, graphics and sound values in tabular form and a Turbo Prolog language summary.
