ltools: list manipulations in Prolog

This module contains predicates for list manipulation in Prolog. It is inspired by Python's itertools and more-itertools modules.

Installation and Usage

The library was tested on SWI prolog. However, it should be easy to make it work also on other Prolog systems, since few built-in predicates were used.

In SWI, you can install it with:

?- pack_install('https://github.com/damianoazzolini/ltools').

Then

?- use_module(library(ltools)).
true.

and you are ready to go.

Available Predicates

The source code is documented and should contain the explanation of each predicate, together with examples. Furthermore, also tests can guide you with several examples.

Available predicates:
