Good afternoon,
I downloaded JESS yesterday (haven't looked at CLIPS) and started
monitoring this list today, so this probably is a repeat. I apologize in
advance.
I've been looking at animals.clp that came with Jess4.1 and was getting
some quirky results when I started adding animals. I loaded the facts
into a clean session and looked at them and there seemed to be a problem
getting unique node names which kind of throws the whole thing in a
tailspin. Looking at the rules I think I've found the lines that are
being depended on to get unique names.
(bind ?newnode1 (gensym*))
(bind ?newnode2 (gensym*))
I looked up gensym* and it is supposed to do the trick but I assume
there is a problem with initialization because I don't see setgen. So I
thought I'd add it somewhere but I don't know how to find the largest
(node (name gen#)). What do I do? My only thought is to make a rule like
defrule (find-unique-name
(node (name (gensym*)))
=
(nil))
Doesn't work throws a unimplemented function node at line 110 (my syntax
is wrong no doubt). But in terms of the method:
Is this the only way?
Is there a better way?
Would I need to set the salience of this rule to make it complete it's
task before the main act starts?
Is gensym* going to be incremented every time the inference engine tests
this rule?
Does that cause a possibility of and overflow?
Nothing like a person who knows nothing too ask too many questions.
Thanks for your patience.
Best Regards,
Matthew Denson
