Field Detail

x

public IntVar x
It specifies the variable x in equation x^y = z.


y

public IntVar y
It specifies the variable y in equation x^y = z.


z

public IntVar z
It specifies the variable z in equation x^y = z.


xmlAttributes

public static java.lang.String[] xmlAttributes
It specifies the arguments required to be saved by an XML format as well as the constructor being called to recreate an object from an XML format.

Constructor Detail

XexpYeqZ

public XexpYeqZ(IntVar x,
                IntVar y,
                IntVar z)
It constructs constraint X^Y=Z.

Parameters:
x - variable x.
y - variable y.
z - variable z.
Method Detail

arguments

public java.util.ArrayList<Var> arguments()
Description copied from class: Constraint
It returns the variables in a scope of the constraint.

Specified by:
arguments in class Constraint
Returns:
variables in a scope of the constraint.

consistency

public void consistency(Store store)
Description copied from class: Constraint
It is a (most probably incomplete) consistency function which removes the values from variables domains. Only values which do not have any support in a solution space are removed.

Specified by:
consistency in class Constraint
Parameters:
store - constraint store within which the constraint consistency is being checked.

getConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getConsistencyPruningEvent(Var var)
Description copied from class: Constraint
It retrieves the pruning event which causes reevaluation of the constraint.

Specified by:
getConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint
Parameters:
var - variable for which pruning event is retrieved
Returns:
it returns the int code of the pruning event (GROUND, BOUND, ANY, NONE)

id

public java.lang.String id()
Description copied from class: Constraint
It gives the id string of a constraint.

Specified by:
id in class Constraint
Returns:
string id of the constraint.

impose

public void impose(Store Store)
Description copied from class: Constraint
It imposes the constraint in a given store.

Specified by:
impose in class Constraint
Parameters:
Store - the constraint store to which the constraint is imposed to.

removeConstraint

public void removeConstraint()
Description copied from class: Constraint
It removes the constraint by removing this constraint from all variables.

Specified by:
removeConstraint in class Constraint

satisfied

public boolean satisfied()
Description copied from class: Constraint
It checks if the constraint is satisfied. If this function is incorrectly implemented a constraint may not be satisfied in a solution.

Specified by:
satisfied in class Constraint
Returns:
true if the constraint is for certain satisfied, false otherwise.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Description copied from class: Constraint
It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Specified by:
toString in class Constraint

increaseWeight

public void increaseWeight()
Description copied from class: Constraint
It increases the weight of the variables in the constraint scope.

Specified by:
increaseWeight in class Constraint
