% start by loading the example:

| ?- logtalk_load(parametric(loader)). ...

% some queries using the list parametric object:

| ?- [1, 2, 3]::member(X).

X = 1 ; X = 2 ; X = 3 ; no

| ?- [1, 2, 3]::last(X).

X = 3 yes

| ?- [1, 2, 3]::nextto(2, Y).

Y = 3 yes

| ?- []::member(X).

no

% some queries using the time and date parametric objects:

| ?- date(Year, Month, Day)::today.

Year = 2000 Month = 8 Day = 15 yes

| ?- date(Year, _, _)::today, \+ date(Year, _, _)::leap_year.

Year = 2002 yes

| ?- time(Hours, Mins, Secs)::now.

Hours = 13 Mins = 52 Secs = 42 yes

| ?- rectangle(W, H, X, Y)::init, rectangle(W, H, X, Y)::move(3, 4, NR), NR::position(X2, Y2).

W = 2 H = 1 X = 0 Y = 0 NR = rectangle(2, 1, 3, 4) X2 = 3 Y2 = 4 yes

% some queries with parametric objects that define "setter" % methods that return updated object identifiers:

| ?- person(sally, 20)::grow_older(NewId).

NewId = person(sally, 21) yes

| ?- employee(sally, 21, 1200)::give_raise(250, NewId).

NewId = employee(sally, 21, 1450) yes

% some queries with parametric categories:

| ?- speech(winter, wedding)::advice.

Clothes: [pants, sleeves, heavy] Speech: [happy, jokes] yes
