Hi, sorry for the newbie question and bad english...

I want to have a program parameter in Prolog just like what we can do in C with something like "#define N 5". It is not necessary to be a constant, so a variable can be suffisant... but how to make a variable in Prolog ? I mean a variable like those in imperatives languages.

Thank you !
