Can you tell me more about what Logic programming is? And what are some good languages to use for Logic programming?
user
Logic programming is a programming paradigm which is largely based on formal logic. Any program written in a logic programming language is a set of sentences in logical form, expressing facts and rules about some problem domain. Major logic programming language families include Prolog, answer set programming (ASP) and Datalog.

And how does it actually work? Can you show me an exemplary case of where it is actually helpful?
user
In logic programming, you define a set of rules and facts, and the program works by applying these rules to infer new facts or to answer queries. For example, in a Prolog program that models a family tree, you could define rules for parent, grandparent, and sibling relationships, and then use those rules to answer questions about the family tree.

Logic programming can be helpful in a variety of applications, such as natural language processing, expert systems, and database querying. For instance, it can be used to develop chatbots that can understand natural language queries and generate appropriate responses.
