Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog
|
|
Release 2.21.6
|

=================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
This folder contains several examples of Logtalk programs. A brief
|
|
description of each example is included below.
|
|
|
|
Each example folder contains a NOTES file and a loader helper file which
|
|
may be used to load all the example entities. In addition, most examples
|
|
contain a SCRIPT file with sample queries for your to try.
|
|
|
|
Most of these examples need objects, protocols, and categories which are
|
|
defined in the Logtalk standard library or in other examples, so you
|
|
should load them first (see the NOTES files inside the library folder and
|
|
the NOTES file inside each example folder).
|
|
|
|
Some examples may redefine objects already loaded from other examples.
|
|
You may want to restart Logtalk after trying each example.
|
|
|
|
Some of the examples code have been adopted from public available Prolog
|
|
code and from known Prolog text books and are copyrighted by the respective
|
|
authors.
|
|
|
|
These are programming examples, meaning that you should study the source
|
|
files to fully understand them.
|
|
|
|
All examples are formatted using four spaces tabs.
|
|
|
|
By default, compiling an example generates a .xml documenting file for each
|
|
compiled entity (object, category, or protocol). See the xml folder for
|
|
instructions on how to browse the .xml files for on-line reading or how to
|
|
convert the files to a print-ready format such as PDF.
|
|
|
