Prolog remove multiple elements from a list

Question

I know how to remove an element from a list but is there a way to remove more than one elements from a list? For example,

deletelist([a,b,c,a,b],[a,c],X)
X = [b,b] % delete a and c from the list.

Answer 1

SWI-Prolog offers subtract/3:

?- subtract([a,b,c,a,b], [a,c], X).
X = [b, b].

?- listing(subtract).
lists:subtract([], _, []) :- !.
lists:subtract([A|C], B, D) :-
    memberchk(A, B), !,
    subtract(C, B, D).
lists:subtract([A|B], C, [A|D]) :-
    subtract(B, C, D).
