Quick start (Linux):

  1. Write a prolog program as a text file with a .pl ending. For example, program.pl.

  3. Open SWI-Prolog by invoking swipl.
  4. In SWI-Prolog, type [program] to load the program, i.e. the file name in brackets, but without the ending.
  5. In order to query the loaded program, type goals and watch the output.

  1. The swi-prolog extension to format that allows you to write to an atom allowed me to use format like sprintf was really helpful. The regular expression matcher was intuitive and easy to use. More intuitive than Python.
  2. SWI-Prolog provides you with a comprehensive and robust development environment for the Prolog logic programming language, which is intended for computational linguistics and artificial.

SWI-Prolog is a fast and powerful ISO/Edinburgh-style Prolog compiler with a rich set of built-in predicates. It offers a fast, robust and small environment which enables substantial applications to be developed with it.
