Negation by failure An extralogical feature of Prolog and other logic programming languages in which failure of unification is treated as establishing the negation of a relation. For example, if Ronald Reagan is not in our database and we asked if he was an American, Prolog would answer "no". (1994-11-29). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
