Re: Impressed but confused, gluing a list together...

Well thanks anyway Michał, I think I now understand "The Force" a lot better for your explaining it.

I have been a hacker for 28 years, I converted to function stuff (Erlang, Haskell et al.) about six or seven years ago but Prolog is still proving to be tricker to understand for me at times but I am loving it. I am working on a "project" and I am really starting (I mean "really"!!!) to appreciate just how bloody brilliant Prolog is / can be at symbolic stuff, the hardest part was truly getting to grips with DGC-s but I am now getting better with those as well.

Thanks for your time!
:)
Sean.
