| 7 | When asking to generalise from 8-Queens to n-Queens its not clear what the chessboard size should do | You should generalise to n-Queens on an nxn chessboard | cdk23 | ||
| 3 | 8 | The text typed during the lecture on this slide should read rule2 rather than rule. | Correct.... | jp581 | |
| 3 | 8 | Implicit binding of the exists quantifier is too large. This is important because otherwise the statement holds when thing(1,2) and thang(2) is true but rule2(1) is false - this happens because false implies anything and the overlarge capture of the exists allows you pick a z for which the LHS is false. | There should be an open bracket before the exists and a close bracket before the implication arrow | jp581 | |
| 8 | 6 | 10:00 | eval(mult(A2,B2),C2) :- eval(A2,A3),eval(B2,B3), C2 is A2*B2 is incorrect. | It should read C2 is A3*B3. | mjh233 |
