Description

@nicoabie

Given the example ?- father(X) = X. it states that:

Because the left hand term is the variable X , by clause 2 it decides that the terms do unify, and (in accordance with clause 2) instantiates X to the right hand side, namely father(X) .

I think it should say:

Because the right hand term is the variable X , by clause 2 it decides that the terms do unify, and (in accordance with clause 2) instantiates X to the left hand side, namely father(X) .

Left and right seems to be swapped.
