## Public predicates

### `include/3`

Returns a list of all list elements that satisfy a predicate.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`include(Closure,List,Included)`
Meta-predicate template:
`include(1,*,*)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`include(+callable,+list,-list)` - `one`

Returns a list of all list elements that fail to satisfy a predicate.

Compilation flags:
`static`

`exclude(Closure,List,Excluded)`
Meta-predicate template:
`exclude(1,*,*)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`exclude(+callable,+list,-list)` - `one`

### `findall_member/4`

Finds all members of a list that satisfy a given test.

`static`
Template:
`findall_member(Member,List,Test,Result)`
Meta-predicate template:
`findall_member(*,*,0,*)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`findall_member(@term,+list,@callable,-list)` - `one`

### `findall_member/5`

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`findall_member(Member,List,Test,Result,Tail)`
Meta-predicate template:
`findall_member(*,*,0,*,*)`

### `partition/4`

Partition a list of elements in two lists using a predicate.

Compilation flags:

`partition(Closure,List,Value,Less,Equal,Greater)`
Meta-predicate template:
`partition(3,*,*,*,*,*)`

`scan_left(3,*,*,*)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`scan_left(+callable,?term,+list,?list)` - `zero_or_more`

### `scan_left_1/3`

List scanning (left associative). Closure is extended with three arguments: accumulator, list element, and updated accumulator. The accumulator is initialized with the list first element. Fails for empty lists.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`scan_left_1(Closure,List,Results)`
Meta-predicate template:
`scan_left_1(3,*,*)`

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`fold_right(Closure,Accumulator,List,Result)`

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`fold_right_1(Closure,List,Result)`
