'if' in prolog?

Question

Is there a way to do an if in prolog, e.g. if a variable is 0, then to do some actions (write text to the terminal). An else isn\'t even needed, but I can\'t find any docume

Answer 1

A standard prolog predicate will do this.

   isfive(5). 

will evaluate to true if you call it with 5 and fail(return false) if you run it with anything else. For not equal you use \=

isNotEqual(A,B):- A\=B.

Technically it is does not unify, but it is similar to not equal.

Learn Prolog Now is a good website for learning prolog.

Edit: To add another example.

isEqual(A,A).
