Reverse a List in Logic
This problem uses the Logic starter file located here.
Write facts to define reverse. You may use anything already included in the starter file as well as other facts defined in previous questions. reverse relates two lists with the second being the reversed of the first.
(fact (reverse ; YOUR CODE HERE ))
(query (reverse (1 2 3) (3 2 1)))
; expect Success!
(query (reverse (1 2 3) ?what))
; expect Success! ; what: (3 2 1)
(fact (reverse () ()))
(fact (reverse (?first . ?rest) ?result)
(reverse ?rest ?new-rest)
(append ?new-rest (?first) ?result))
We start with the base case. The reverse of the empty list is the empty list.
Moving on to the recursive case, we split up the original list into first and rest. From there, we need to find the reverse of the rest, store that as a new value, in this case new-rest, and then appending first to the end of new-rest to get the result that we originally wanted.
