Abstract:

This handbook provides a tutorial of the LIFE programming language as well as a complete description of the capabilities of the Wild LIFE 1.02 system. Although we have attempted to make the tutorial self-contained, it is preferable that the reader be familiar with Prolog. The tutorial exposes gradually the main components of LIFE in a synthetic approach: its original data structure---/-term---and its use in predicates, functions, and sort (type) definitions. Along the way, many useful examples are provided and some common pitfalls are discussed and illustrated. R esum e Ce manuel fournit un cours d'initiation au langage de programmation LIFE, ainsi qu'une description detaillee des predicats et fonctions predefinis dans l'interprete Wild LIFE 1.02. C'est la premiere fois que nous tentons d'ecrire une introduction pratique a la programmation en LIFE. Bien que nous fassions l'effort de n'utiliser que des notions e lementaires ou predefinies, il est preferable que le lecteur ait deja une...
