Prolog Homework

• The Programming Homework itself is to extend some code designed to help students pick Brandeis courses to create their Spring 2009 course schedules.
• spr09.pl this is the prolog database of course scheduling facts, listing all Brandeis courses in Spring 2009 that fit into the block system. Some courses that don't fit have been omitted, e.g. science lab courses.
• hw4code.pl - this is the base code which you are to extend. It includes some scheduling procedures and a simple natural language front end.
