Re: MIU in Curry

Hi Sergio,

thank you for your answer.

Actually, I want to avoid the manual construction of a search tree,
since this is, in my opinion, one of the things that Curry should handle
itself.

I also don’t understand why an infinite search space should be a
problem, as I’m using breadth-first search. Shouldn’t breadth-first
search find every solution?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
