Have you ever tried programming in Prolog?

No, I haven't, but I've heard it's quite different from other languages.

Yeah, it focuses more on logic than just writing procedures.

That sounds interesting! I might give it a shot sometime.

Root Explanation

Memory Tip

Think of 'before' ('pro-') and 'word' ('logos') to remember that a prolog is a word or discourse that comes before the main content.
