    Hello everybody,

    I would like to know is good for the following task or I should stick with
    traditional C++ approach.
    I have a list of operators:

    1. Reads A, changes D
    2. Reads B, changes C
    3. Reads A, changes C
    4. Reads C, changes B
    5. Reads D, changes A

    The program should find that operator 2 is not needed, because the following
    operator 3 does not use C but also changes C. This means that operator 2 was
    useless.

    I also want that program discovered that operator 5 can be also placed after
    operator 3 because D is changed in the very begining and last time A used
    for reading is at 3rd operator.

    How do you think is Prolog a right tool for it ?
