Definition
A programming style that states facts and rules and lets the system answer queries by logical inference (for example Prolog).
Example: Facts and rules, not step-by-step commands.
Found in: course specifications, school notes, past SDD papers.

How to use it
A model sentence
“A programming style that states facts and rules and lets the system answer queries by logical inference (for example Prolog).” Then apply it: Facts and rules, not step-by-step commands.
In a short answer, give the definition in your own words first, then tie it to the situation in the question. Do not copy the example above unless it fits the scenario.
