Problems with comparison in prolog's rules

[Magician Artemka]

I'm new in Prolog and I create a small base wit "car" statements.

car(ford, mondeo, 125600, 31000).
car(ford, mondeo, 111232, 35000).
car(renault, megane, 82000, 28000).
car(renault, laguna, 102000, 35000).
car(renault, laguna, 82000, 42000).
car(www, pasat, 82000, 42000).
car(renault, aaa, 82000, 428900).

How I can find all cars with >10000 third argument? I try write a rule in consol (!not in the file!) ?- car(Z,X,C > 10000,V). but I get only false (but how? Prolog must print all cars, because all cars are match).

[Paulo Moura]

Prolog is not a functional language. Thus, the argument C > 10000 is not evaluated prior to looking for a matching clause. The query fails as the argument C > 10000 does not unify with any third argument in any of the clauses. Try instead:

?- car(Z,X,C,V), C > 10000.

Here you will be calling the term C > 10000 as a goal instead of using it as a predicate argument.
