Question 2: Add to all

Write facts for add-to-all, which declares a relation between an item, a list of lists, and a second list whose elements are the elements of the first list with the item added to the front of each:

; YOUR CODE HERE

(query (add-to-all a ((b) (c d)) ((a b) (a c d))))
; expect Success!
(query (add-to-all a ((b c) (b) (foo)) ?what))
; expect Success! ; what: ((a b c) (a b) (a foo))
(query (add-to-all ?what ((c) (d e) ()) ((b c) (b d e) (b))))
; expect Success! ; what: b
(query (add-to-all ?what ?list ((b c) (d e) (b))))
; expect Failed.

Question 3: Sublists

Write facts for sublists, which relates a list of items to another list that contains every possible sublist of the first. A sublist of a list is a list that contains zero or more items from the original list, in the same order that they appear in the original list:

(fact (append () ?a ?a))
(fact (append (?x . ?r) ?b (?x . ?c))
      (append ?r ?b ?c))

; YOUR CODE HERE

(query (sublists (1 2 3) ?subs))
; expect Success! ; subs: (() (3) (2) (2 3) (1) (1 3) (1 2) (1 2 3))

Question 4

Below is a list of fruits. Write facts for fruits-tail, which relates sublists of fruits starting at a given fruit:

(fact (fruits apple banana cherry date elderberry fig guava))

; YOUR CODE HERE

; expect Success!
(query (fruits-tail banana . ?after-banana))
; expect Success! ; after-banana: (cherry date elderberry fig guava)
(query (fruits-tail ?e fig guava))
; expect Success! ; e: elderberry
