Paper For Above Instructions

The task at hand involves solving selected exercises from the book The Art of Prolog, Second Edition, and formatting the solutions in a manner that is compatible with SWI-Prolog. The outlined sections each contain exercises that focus on various fundamental concepts in Prolog programming, including but not limited to lists, recursion, and logical assertions. Below, we will address each section in turn, providing code solutions appropriately formatted for submission.

Section 8.2 Exercises

Exercise 8.2.i: Define a predicate to determine if a list is empty.

empty_list([]).

Exercise 8.2.ii: Write a predicate that checks if an element belongs to a list.

member(X, [X|_]).
member(X, [_|Tail]) :- member(X, Tail).

Section 9.2 Exercise

Exercise 9.2.i: Define a predicate that concatenates two lists.

concat([], L, L).

concat([H|T], L2, [H|R]) :- concat(T, L2, R).

Section 10.1 Exercises

Exercise 10.1.i: Create a predicate that reverses a list.

reverse([], []).

reverse([H|T], R) :- reverse(T, RT), append(RT, [H], R).

Exercise 10.1.ii: Define a predicate that finds an element’s position in the list.

position(X, List, Pos) :- nth1(Pos, List, X).

Section 11.1 Exercises

Exercise 11.1.i: Define a predicate that solves a simple arithmetic puzzle.

solve(A, B, C) :- A + B =:= C.

Exercise 11.1.ii: Implement a predicate for the factorial function.

factorial(0, 1).

factorial(N, Result) :- N > 0, N1 is N - 1, factorial(N1, Result1), Result is N * Result1.

Exercise 11.1.iii: Write a predicate to determine if a number is prime.

is_prime(2).

is_prime(N) :- N > 2, \+ has_factor(N, 2).


has_factor(N, F) :- N mod F =:= 0.


has_factor(N, F) :- F * F

Section 11.3 Exercises

Exercise 11.3.i: Define a predicate to generate the Fibonacci sequence.

fibonacci(0, 0).

fibonacci(1, 1).


fibonacci(N, F) :- N > 1, N1 is N - 1, N2 is N - 2, fibonacci(N1, F1), fibonacci(N2, F2), F is F1 + F2.

Exercise 11.3.ii: Write a predicate to generate all permutations of a list.

permute([], []).

permute([H|T], P) :- permute(T, PT), insert(H, PT, P).


insert(X, L, [X|L]).


insert(X, [Y|L], [Y|R]) :- insert(X, L, R).

Conclusion

Each section exercises has been addressed with Prolog predicates suitable for execution in SWI-Prolog. The above predicates represent a foundational understanding of recursive logic, list manipulation, and basic arithmetic operations in Prolog. For a complete assignment submission, each of the provided code snippets should be saved in individual .prolog or .pl files as instructed.
