Efficiency Lots of traditional programmers Well established software engineering practices
Creation, maintenance expensive and time-consuming Different programs for different tasks Difficult to explain results Programs not comprehensible to ordinary users
Logic Programs are relatively easy to create. Requires little work. The specification is the program; no need to make choices about data structures and algorithms. Specification authors can get by with few assumptions about the capabilities of systems executing those programs. Easier to learn logic programming than traditional programming. Thin...

Learn the basics of logic programming, a style of programming that uses symbolic logic to describe applications and goals. Explore the advantages, applications and examples of logic programming in various domains.
This course is an introduction to Logic from a computational perspective. It shows how to encode information in the form of logical sentences; it shows how to reason with information in this form; and it provides an overview of logic technology and its applications - in mathematics, science, engineering, business, law, and so forth.
