What is logic programming?

Logic programming is a programming paradigm based on formal logic, where program statements express facts and rules about problems within a system of formal logic. In this approach, computation is achieved by querying these facts and rules, and the system tries to find solutions that satisfy the queries using logical inference. Prolog is one of the most well-known logic programming languages. Logic programming is commonly used in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and problem-solving applications where declarative programming is advantageous.
