Challenge 2: mySum/2 Wrapping the Accumulator Version — Possible Solution ==================================================================== list_utils.pl: mySum([], Acc, Acc). mySum([H|T], Acc, Sum) :- Acc1 is Acc + H, mySum(T, Acc1, Sum). mySum(List, Sum) :- mySum(List, 0, Sum). -- the public 2-argument wrapper Query: ?- mySum([4, 8, 15, 16, 23], Total). Total = 66. Explanation: mySum/2 simply calls mySum/3 with an initial accumulator of 0 -- note this is a genuinely SEPARATE predicate from mySum/3, per the chapter's own name+arity rule (prolog1-2): mySum/2 and mySum/3 are different predicates that happen to share a name. Each recursive call in mySum/3 adds the current head to the running accumulator (Acc1 is Acc + H) and passes that updated total forward to the next call. Once the list is exhausted, the base case mySum([], Acc, Acc) unifies the final Sum with whatever the accumulator has become by that point -- 66, the correct total of all five numbers. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This wraps the chapter's own three-argument accumulator predicate in a genuine two-argument public interface, correctly treating mySum/2 and mySum/3 as separate predicates per prolog1-2's own name+arity rule, and confirms the correct sum over a real list.
