Trilogy \Tril"o*gy\, n. [Gr. trilogi`a; pref. tri- (see {Tri-})
+ lo`gos speech, discourse: cf. F. trilogie.]
A series of three dramas which, although each of them is in
one sense complete, have a close mutual relation, and form
one historical and poetical picture. Shakespeare's `` Henry
VI.'' is an example.
On the Greek stage, a drama, or acted story, consisted
in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy,
and performed consecutively in the course of one day.
--Coleridge.

Trilogy
A {strongly typed} {logic programming} language
with numerical {constraint}-solving over the {natural
numbers}, developed by Paul Voda
at {UBC} in 1988. Trilogy is syntactically a blend of
{Prolog}, {Lisp}, and {Pascal}. It contains three types of
{clauses}: {predicates} ({backtracking} but no assignable
variables), procedures (if-then-else but no backtracking;
assignable variables), and {subroutines} (like procedures, but
with input and {system calls}; callable only from top level or
from other subroutines).
Development of Trilogy I stopped in 1991. Trilogy II,
developed by Paul Voda 1988-92, was a {declarative} general
purpose programming language, used for teaching and to write
{CL}.
