Abstract

this paper we concentrate on problems related to list processing. A list is a basic data type in both Lisp and Prolog. When a list is to be processed, generally a method of processing recursively all the elements of the list is used. First, several examples of typical list processing problems and their solutions are presented to students. As an example, let us assume the classical task to find a sum of all the elements of an arbitrary list of integers. Standard Lisp and Prolog programs which solve the task can be written:
