findall(-Var, +Goal, -Bag) is det
findall(-Var, +Goal, -Bag, +Tail) is det- Bag holds all alternatives for Var in Goal. Bag might hold
duplicates. Equivalent to bagof, using the existence operator
(^) on all free variables of Goal. Succeeds with Bag = [] if
Goal fails immediately.
The findall/4 variation is a difference-list version of
findall/3.
findnsols(+Count, @Template, :Goal, -List) is nondet
findnsols(+Count, @Template, :Goal, -List, ?Tail) is nondet- True when List is the next chunk of maximal Count instantiations
of Template that reprensents a solution of Goal. For example:
?- findnsols(5, I, between(1, 12, I), L).
L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ;
L = [6, 7, 8, 9, 10] ;
L = [11, 12].

- -
domain_error(not_less_than_zero, Count)
if Count is less
than 0. - -
type_error(integer, Count)
if Count is not an integer.
- Compatibility
- - Ciao, but the SWI-Prolog version is non-deterministic.
bagof(+Var, +Goal, -Bag) is semidet- Implements Clocksin and Melish's bagof/3 predicate. Bag is
unified with the alternatives of Var in Goal, Free variables of
Goal are bound, unless asked not to with the existential
quantifier operator (^).
setof(+Var, +Goal, -Set) is semidet- Equivalent to bagof/3, but sorts the resulting bag and removes
duplicate answers. We sort immediately after the findall/3,
removing duplicate Templ-Answer pairs early.
