Abstract:Abstract. Declarative multi-paradigm languages combine the main features of functional and logic programming, like laziness, logic variables and non-determinism. The operational semantics of these languages is based on a combination of narrowing and residuation.

Both pure functional and pure logic programming have for long time taken advanta… Show more
