In Prolog, you can use the built-in predicate nth0/3 to get the first element of a list. nth0/3 takes three arguments: an index, a list, and an element. It returns the element at the specified index in the list.

Here is an example of how you can use nth0/3 to get the first element of a list in Prolog:

Copy code
% Define a list
L = [a, b, c, d].

% Get the first element of the list
nth0(0, L, X).

% X will be bound to 'a'
Note that the index of the first element in a list is 0 in Prolog. If you want to get the second element of the list, you would use an index of 1, and so on.

You can also use the predicate member/2 to check if an element is a member of a list. For example:

 
% Check if 'a' is a member of the list
member(a, L).

% This will return true
If you want to get the first element of a list without knowing the index, you can use member/2 in combination with a variable:

Copy code
% Get the first element of the list
member(X, L).

% X will be bound to 'a'
