Abstract
Most computer languages will only directly accept data as individual items of information. However, Prolog will accept structured data, complete with relations. In this way, real life situations can be more readily and more accurately modelled in the computer program. Not only this, programs can be more modular, which makes them more compact and more easily understood, an advantage especially important for lengthy programs.
