    • Comparative operators used as functions for numerical values: =, >, =, <, >=, <=.
    • equal or eq checks equality for non-numeric values.

    Control Flow Statements

    • if: similar to the C++ if statement with three parts: test, then, else.
    • cond: analogous to the C++ switch statement, but each clause needs a complete Boolean test.
    • cond clauses are evaluated in order until one evaluates to true.
    • The default case is usually the last clause with a true condition (often t).

    ProLog

    • ProLog is a logic programming language
    • It uses backward chaining for large collections of axioms
    • Backward chaining deduces a goal by proving its sub-goals
    • ProLog syntax uses atoms and numbers as constants
    • Atoms are defined in different ways
      • Alphanumeric atoms: start with a lowercase letter
      • Quoted atoms: surrounded by single quotes
      • Symbolic atoms: sequences of symbolic characters
      • Special atoms: specific characters

    Ada

    • Ada programming language uses a while statement
    • The for statement is different from the while statement
    • The number of iterations in a for statement is fixed from the first run
    • The for statement is controlled by a range
    • The exit statement can be used with or without a condition within a loop
    • exit statements can be used with labels to specify the specific loop to quit
    • An Ada block statement has an optional declaration section, a statement section, and an exception section
    • The return statement is for functions and procedures and is used with expressions
    • Functions require at least one return statement

    LISP

    • LISP uses recursion as its main iteration tool
    • It supports numbers, symbols, and strings
    • There are two special symbols: T and NIL for true and false
    • S-expressions are used for representing both code and data in LISP
    • S-expressions can be single objects, atoms, or lists
    • Lists are essential in LISP, group atoms and lists bounded by ( and )
    • A list is a group of atoms and/or lists, enclosed within parentheses
    • (function-name arg1...argn) is the syntax for a function call
    • Functions in LISP are provided by a library or defined by the user
    • Recursion can have a limit depending on the specific LISP version
    • The power function recursively computes the power of x to y
    • length function computes the number of elements in a list
    • member function determines if a symbol is in a list
    • intersection function checks if elements of one list are in a second list
