Detailed explanation-1: -Prolog or PROgramming in LOGics is a logical and declarative programming language. It is one major example of the fourth generation language that supports the declarative programming paradigm. This is particularly suitable for programs that involve symbolic or non-numeric computation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prolog has its roots in first-order logic, a formal logic, and unlike many other programming languages, Prolog is intended primarily as a declarative programming language: the program logic is expressed in terms of relations, represented as facts and rules.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Logical Paradigm takes a declarative approach to problem-solving. Various logical assertions about a situation are made, establishing all known facts. Then queries are made. The role of the computer becomes maintaining data and logical deduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Prolog programs have a sequence of clauses. Facts or rules are described by these clauses. Example of facts is dog(rottweiler) and cat(munchkin). They mean that ‘rottweiler is a dog’ and ‘munchkin is a cat’.
