Question Answering Database-Style Algorithm Finder

Question Answering Database-Style Algorithm Finder is a SWI-Prolog algorithm that finds database style list-based algorithms with question answering, for example:

```
e.g. for cultural translation tool, the input lists of tuples: orig-trans, trans-bt where orig-bt have same meaning and input orig and output translation:
	a(OT,TB,BO,O,T):-
	member(A1,OT),A1=[O,T],
	member(A2,TB),A2=[T,B],
	member(A3,BO),A3=[B,O].
	
	which is run as:
	?- a([[a,b]],[[b,a]],[[a,a]],a,T).
	T = b.
```

# Getting Started

Please read the following instructions on how to install the project on your computer for writing algorithms.

# Prerequisites

* Please download and install SWI-Prolog for your machine at `https://www.swi-prolog.org/build/`.

# 1. Install manually

Download <a href="http://github.com/luciangreen/qa_db_finder/">this repository</a>.

# 2. Or Install from List Prolog Package Manager (LPPM)

* Download the <a href="https://github.com/luciangreen/List-Prolog-Package-Manager">LPPM Repository</a>:

```
mkdir GitHub
cd GitHub/
git clone https://github.com/luciangreen/List-Prolog-Package-Manager.git
cd List-Prolog-Package-Manager
swipl
['lppm'].
lppm_install("luciangreen","qa_db_finder").
halt
```

# Running

* In Shell:
`cd qa_db_finder`
