Abstract

A predicate is a statement which depends on a value or values. When a predicate is applied to a particular value it becomes a proposition. An example is the predicate prime(x) which depends on some numeric value x, so that prime(7) is a true proposition meaning that seven is a prime number, and prime(6) is a false proposition.
