Read chapters 4 and 5.  Also, chapters 6 and 7 of the text  provide useful reference information (for example, opening and writing to files and other useful built-in predicates).  We will explicitly discuss some of these predicates covered in chapters 6 and 7 (for example, write, fail, var, nonvar, atom, asserta, assertz, retract, arg, =.., read, nl, op, etc.).  However, you should read these chapters to become familiar with the material.  You will most likely need some of the predicates in these chapters in subsequent homework assignments.
