Command Line Interface without NLP

The user available predicates are:

poly2list/2
simpoly_list/2
simpoly/2
scalepoly/3
addpoly/3

poly2list/2 - transforms a list representing a polynomial (second argument) into a polynomial represented as an expression (first argument) and vice-versa.

simpolylist/2 - simplifies a polynomial represented as a list into another polynomial as a list.

simpoly/2 - simplifies a polynomial represented as an expression as another polynomial as an expression.

scalepoly/3 - multiplies a polynomial represented as an expression by a scalar resulting in a second polynomial. The two first arguments are assumed to be ground. The polynomial resulting from the sum is in simplified form.

addpoly/3 - adds two polynomials as expressions resulting in a third one. The two first arguments are assumed to be ground. The polynomial resulting from the sum is in simplified form.

Note: foo/N means the funciton foo has N parameters (this is known as arity). These names are the ones requested in the assignment.
