### Constraint Logic Programming (CLP)
|
||||
|
||||
Scryer Prolog provides excellent support for Constraint Logic
|
||||
Programming (CLP), which is the amalgamation of
|
||||
Logic Programming (LP) and Constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to built-in support for [`dif/2`](src/prolog/lib/dif.pl),
|
||||
[`freeze/2`](src/prolog/lib/freeze.pl),
|
||||
[CLP(ℤ)](src/prolog/lib/clpz.pl) and [CLP(B)](src/prolog/lib/clpb.pl),
|
||||
Scryer provides a convenient way to implement new user-defined
|
||||
constraints: *Attributed variables* are available via
|
||||
[`library(atts)`](src/prolog/lib/atts.pl) as in SICStus Prolog,
|
||||
which is one of the most sophisticated and fastest constraint systems
|
||||
in existence.
|
||||
|
||||
These features make Scryer Prolog an ideal platform for teaching,
|
||||
learning and developing portable CLP applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Modules

||||
Scryer has a simple predicate-based module system. It provides a
