Let us start this tutorial with a simple example based on the following well
known problem.

+A farmer need to transfer a goat, a wolf and a cabbage across a river, but there
is only one place available on his boat. Furthermore, the goat will eat the
cabbage if they are left alone on the same bank, and similarly the wolf will eat
the goat. The problem consists in bringing all three items safely across the
(* Instead of working with functions, it is sometimes convenient to work with
predicates. For instance, instead of defining a function computing the opposite
bank, we could declare a predicate stating when two banks are opposite to each
-other. Only two cases are possible, leading naturally two the following
+other. Only two cases are possible, leading naturally to the following
definition:
*)
(* In precisely the same way as "bank" is the smallest type containing east and
west, opp is the smallest predicate containing the two sub-cases east_west and
weast_east. If you have some familiarity with Prolog, you may look at opp as the
-predicate definined by the two clauses - in this case, the two facts -
+predicate defined by the two clauses - in this case, the two facts - ast_west and
+west_east.
Between opp and opposite we have the following relation:
opp a b iff a = opposite b
of a relation (a binary predicate) over states. *)
