Answer
Hi,
The main programming languages used in AI are Lisp and Prolog. Both have features which make them suitable for AI programming, such as support for list processing, pattern matching and exploratory programming. Both are also widely used - Prolog especially in Europe and Japan, and Lisp in the US. This wide use within the field is another reason to choose Lisp or Prolog for AI implementations.

Prolog is a language based on logic. (Prolog = PROgramming in LOGic). In particular, it is based on first order predicate calculus. Writing simple Prolog programs is similar to writing statements in predicate calculus, and 'running' them involves setting queries for Prolog to 'prove' using its special purpose theorem prover.

For Tutorials on LISP have a look at
