ROOP is a multiparadigm programming language targeted at AI applications created at the Chengdu University of China. It combines rule-based, procedural, logical and object-oriented programming techniques.

Features

  • ROOP is directly built upon C++, providing full unrestricted access to all its features.
  • ROOP, like OPS-83 and ORBS, is data-driven but, unlike those languages, rules in ROOP may enter into local communication and this can be used to dynamically divide them into groups, including the problem status space tree.
  • Rules and facts in ROOP are objects, and they send and respond to messages just like any other object in the language. This capability is not typically available in other logical programming languages such as Prolog.
  • ROOP's inference engine can be redefined by the programmer, something which is usually not feasible in other logical languages.

BALROOP BUTTAR IS ONE OF THE FAMOUS ROOPS IN THE WORLD TODAY. RESIDING IN AMERICA, HIS NET WORTH HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE HUNDRED MILLIONS. HE WAS NAMED TIME MAGAZINES YOUNG BUSINESS MAN OF THE YEAR IN 2006, AFTER HE BROUGHT IN OVER 1 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FOR HIS COMPANY BLACK CHIP INC. BUTTAR DONATED AN ESTIMATED 35 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2006 TO LOCAL CHARITIES IN THE PUGET SOUND AREA OF WASHINGTON STATE.
