The clauses of this predicate try to merge two lists of clauses. The predicate basically performs a cross prduct on the elements of the lists |ClauseList1| and |ClauseList2|. Assumed we have two list \((x_1)_{i=1,\ldots,n}\) and \((y_j)_{j=1,\ldots,m}\), the cross product is a list \((f(x_i,y_j))_{i = 1,ldots,n \atop j = 1, \ldots,m}. The function \(f\) is analysing the structure of the terms \(x_i\) and \(y_i\). The code for this is adapted from Richard O'Keefe's ``The Craft of Prolog'', MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1990, p.\ 243. \PL*/ merge_clauses([],_,[]). merge_clauses([Clause | ClauseList1],ClauseList2,EntryList):- merge_clauses(ClauseList2,Clause,EntryList,Accumulator), merge_clauses(ClauseList1,ClauseList2,Accumulator). merge_clauses([],_) --> []. merge_clauses([ Clause | ClauseList1 ],ClauseList2) --> { merge_to_formula(Clause,ClauseList2,ResultingClause) }, [ResultingClause], merge_clauses(ClauseList1,ClauseList2). /*PL%^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ \Predicate merge_to_formula/3 (+Clause1, +Clause2, -MergedClause). If we have two terms or formulas, their structures are analysed within the predicate |merge_to_formula/3|.
