Higher-order logic programming

Higher-order logic programming is a type of computer programming that allows you to solve problems by breaking them down into smaller pieces and finding the best solution. In higher-order logic programming, you use special symbols to represent the different parts of the problem, and then use these symbols to write step-by-step instructions for how to solve it. This allows the computer to solve more complicated problems than it could without the special symbols.
