Constructor Detail

AtLeast

public AtLeast(IntVar[] list,
               int counter,
               int value)

It constructs a AtLeast constraint.

Parameters:

value - value which is counted

list - variables which equality to val is counted.

counter - number of variables equal to val.

AtLeast

public AtLeast(List<? extends IntVar> list,
               int counter,
               int value)

It constructs a AtLeast constraint.

Parameters:

value - value which is counted

list - variables which equality to val is counted.

counter - number of variables equal to val.

Method Detail

include

public void include(Store store)

Description copied from interface: StoreAware

It provide store for constraints that are not imposed but called from other constraints.

Specified by:

include in interface StoreAware

Overrides:

include in class PrimitiveConstraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store in which context the constraint is executed.

impose

public void impose(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It imposes the constraint in a given store.

Overrides:

impose in class PrimitiveConstraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store to which the constraint is imposed to.

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Overrides:

getDefaultNestedNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent

protected int getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultNotConsistencyPruningEvent in class PrimitiveConstraint

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.

notConsistency

public void notConsistency(Store store)

Description copied from class: PrimitiveConstraint

It makes pruning in such a way that constraint is notConsistent. It removes values which always belong to a solution.

Specified by:

notConsistency in class PrimitiveConstraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store in which context the notConsistency technique is evaluated.

satisfied

public boolean satisfied()

Description copied from interface: SatisfiedPresent

It checks if the constraint is satisfied. It can return false even if constraint is satisfied but not all variables in its scope are grounded. It needs to return true if all variables in its scope are grounded and constraint is satisfied.

Implementations of this interface for constraints that are not PrimitiveConstraint may require constraint imposition and consistency check as a requirement to work correctly.

Returns:

true if constraint is possible to verify that it is satisfied.

notSatisfied

public boolean notSatisfied()

Description copied from class: PrimitiveConstraint

It checks if constraint would be always not satisfied.

Specified by:

notSatisfied in class PrimitiveConstraint

Returns:

true if constraint must be notSatisfied, false otherwise.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Constraint

It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint
