Prolog“没有足够的堆栈”错误

我正在Prolog写一个家谱节目。这是我的规则:

father(X,Y):-male(X),parent(X,Y).
mother(X,Y):-female(X),parent(X,Y).
parent(X, Y) :- father(X, Y).
parent(X, Y) :- mother(X, Y).
ancestor(X,Y):-parent(X,Y).
ancestor(X,Y):-parent(X,Z),ancestor(Z,Y).
grandfather(X,Y):-male(X),parent(X,Z),parent(Z,Y).
grandMother(X,Y):-female(X),parent(X,Z),parent(Z,Y).
sibling(X,Y):-parent(Z,X),parent(Z,Y),X \= Y.
cousin(X,Y) :-ancestor(Z,X),ancestor(Z,Y),not(parent(Z,X)),not(parent(Z,X)),not(ancestor(X,Y)),not(ancestor(Y,X)).

但是,每当我查询“祖先”时,我都会收到错误:

这也会导致“堂兄”规则出现问题,这就是

我的“祖先”规则怎么办?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

说有一个事实:

male(adam).

如果现在查询:

parent(adam,cain).

然后它将评估:

parent(adam,cain) :-
    father(adam,cain).

现在father/2将进一步评估:

parent(adam,cain) :-
    father(adam,cain) :-
        male(adam),
        parent(adam,cain).

所以我们看到它陷入无限循环:为了验证/地parent/2,它是根据parent/2定义的,但是没有进展 :我们用完全相同的论点来称呼它。

所以Prolog会陷入这种无限循环。由于ancestor/2取决于parent/2,因此其症状与parent/2相同。

尝试删除循环依赖。
