   Special Values for Dogelog Player (Re: F

   Dogelog Player is a novel Prolog system   
   for the JavaScript, Python and Java target.   
   It is unique in that most of its core is written   
   in 100% Prolog itself. While it might not be as   
   posh as other Prolog system, the addition of   
   special values gives it nevertheless an   
   eclectic shoe shine.   
      
   Our introduction of positive infinity 0rInf   
   and negative infinity -0rInf is rather surgical.   
   We didn’t touch the basic arithmetic like (+)/2,   
   (-)/2, (*)/2, etc.. or trigonometric functions   
   like sin/2, cos/2, etc.. But they are now   
   understood by min/2 and max/2, and   
   arithmetic comparison as well.
