  1. Assignment 01

    The first assignment highlighted the basics of prolog, including facts and rules.

    Swipl interactions 01

  2. Assignment 02

    This assignment was a continuation of the first. Here, we added comments to the program then made some query attempts on the languages. Finally, we added additional languages and queried about them as well.

    First queires
    New languages and queries

  3. Assignment 03

    This assignment familiarized us with fully paranthesized expressions.

  12. Assignment 12

    The video features a machine learning Mario that learns from scratch. Similar to the way a child first learns to play video games, the machine tries different buttons to see what happens. Eventually the machine learns what will kill it and attempts to avoid it. This relates to cognitive processing of the human mind in that we learn through trial error, and we tend to stick with what works until it doesn't.

    I would rate this video a 5 due to the nostalgia and thoroughness of the explenation.
