Chapter 6.7, Problem 3QE
Program Plan Intro
Predicates in prolog:
- A program in prolog consists of single or more than one predicates.
- Each predicate devises more than single clause.
- A clause denotes a base clause if it is true unconditionally.
- The two clauses belong to same predicate if they have same name and count of arguments.
- A structure denotes a functor followed by zero or more arguments.
- The arguments are bounded in parenthesis in addition are separated by commas.
- A variable denotes a sequence of letters and digits that begins with capital letter.

There are only three basic constructs in Prolog: facts, rules, and queries. A collection of factsand rules is called a knowledge base (or a database).If we have given multiple facts likemale(harry).female(jess).parent_of(jack,jess).
Can you make the rules about?
1. father_of(X,Y):-2. mother_of(X,Y):-3. grandfather_of(X,Y):-4. grandmother_of(X,Y):-

Write a single rule in the below Prolog program to have the answer shown in the result window. The comments are provided to give you a better understanding of the program.
greater(a,b). /* a is greater than b */
greater(b,c). /* b is greater than c */
/* Need to write a single rule*/
?- superGreater(a,c). /* is a greater than c? */
/* Result window*/
true
