For example, <code>length/2</code> can be used to determine the length of a list (<code>length(List, L)</code>, given a list <code>List</code>), and to generate a list skeleton of a given length (<code>length(X, 5)</code>), and to generate both list skeletons and their lengths together (<code>length(X, L)</code>). Similarly, <code>append/3</code> can be used both to append two lists (<code>append(ListA, ListB, X)</code> given lists <code>ListA</code> and <code>ListB</code>), and to split a given list into parts (<code>append(X, Y, List)</code>, given a list <code>List</code>). For this reason, a comparatively small set of library predicates suffices for many Prolog programs. </p><p>As a general purpose language, Prolog also provides various built-in predicates to perform routine activities like <a href="/wiki/Input/output" title="Input/output">input/output</a>, using graphics and otherwise communicating with the operating system. These predicates are not given a relational meaning and are only useful for the side-effects they exhibit on the system. For example, the predicate <code>write/1</code> displays a term on the screen. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Loops_and_recursion">Loops and recursion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prolog&amp;action=edit&amp;section=5" title="Edit section: Loops and recursion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Iterative algorithms can be implemented by means of recursive predicates.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p> Consider the <code>parent_child/2</code> predicate defined in the family relation program above.

Logically, the Prolog engine tries to find a <a href="/wiki/Resolution_(logic)" title="Resolution (logic)">resolution</a> refutation of the negated query. The resolution method used by Prolog is called <a href="/wiki/SLD_resolution" title="SLD resolution">SLD resolution</a>. If the negated query can be refuted, it follows that the query, with the appropriate variable bindings in place, is a logical consequence of the program. In that case, all generated variable bindings are reported to the user, and the query is said to have succeeded. Operationally, Prolog's execution strategy can be thought of as a generalization of function calls in other languages, one difference being that multiple clause heads can match a given call. In that case, the system creates a choice-point, <a href="/wiki/Unification_(computer_science)" title="Unification (computer science)">unifies</a> the goal with the clause head of the first alternative, and continues with the goals of that first alternative. If any goal fails in the course of executing the program, all variable bindings that were made since the most recent choice-point was created are undone, and execution continues with the next alternative of that choice-point. This execution strategy is called chronological <a href="/wiki/Backtracking" title="Backtracking">backtracking</a>. For example, given the family relation program defined above, the following query will be evaluated to true: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-prolog mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span> <span class="s s-Atom">?-</span> <span class="nf">sibling</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s s-Atom">sally</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s s-Atom">erica</span><span class="p">).</span> <span class="nv">Yes</span> </pre></div> <p>This is obtained as follows: Initially, the only matching clause-head for the query <code>sibling(sally, erica)</code> is the first one, so proving the query is equivalent to proving the body of that clause with the appropriate variable bindings in place, i.e., the conjunction <code>(parent_child(Z,sally), parent_child(Z,erica))</code>. The next goal to be proved is the leftmost one of this conjunction, i.e., <code>parent_child(Z, sally)</code>. Two clause heads match this goal. The system creates a choice-point and tries the first alternative, whose body is <code>father_child(Z, sally)</code>. This goal can be proved using the fact <code>father_child(tom, sally)</code>, so the binding <code>Z = tom</code> is generated, and the next goal to be proved is the second part of the above conjunction: <code>parent_child(tom, erica)</code>. Again, this can be proved by the corresponding fact. Since all goals could be proved, the query succeeds. Since the query contained no variables, no bindings are reported to the user. A query with variables, like: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-prolog mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="s s-Atom">?-</span> <span class="nf">father_child</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">Father</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">Child</span><span class="p">).</span> </pre></div> <p>enumerates all valid answers on backtracking. </p><p>Notice that with the code as stated above, the query <code>?- sibling(sally, sally).</code> also succeeds.

If a proof for that goal can be found, the original goal (i.e., <code>\+ illegal(X)</code>) fails. If no proof can be found, the original goal succeeds. Therefore, the <code>\+/1</code> prefix operator is called the "not provable" operator, since the query <code>?- \+ Goal.</code> succeeds if Goal is not provable. This kind of negation is <a href="/wiki/Soundness" title="Soundness">sound</a> if its argument is <a href="/wiki/Ground_expression" title="Ground expression">"ground"</a> (i.e. contains no variables). Soundness is lost if the argument contains variables and the proof procedure is complete.
