 Infinite loop while generating a sequence of integers Hi, I've got a function that generates the sequence of integers from A to B.
For example: genint(2,5,Q). results in Q = [2, 3, 4, 5].
But if I enter ";", it should result in "no". But instead, it makes an
infinite loop. How can I avoid this loop?

try : genint(X,Y,L):-Y < X,!, genint(Y,X,L).
genint(X,X,[X]):-!.
genint(X,Y,[X|L]):- V is X +1 , genint(V,Y,L).

If it hurts when you bang your head against the wall, stop banging your head against the wall. Now, would you be so kind as to send in your program so that we can see what "this loop" is ?

Infinite loop while generating a sequence of integers thanks! The cut-symbol ('!') was the solution....
