Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	consistency(Store store) It is a (most probably incomplete) consistency function which removes the values from variables domains.
int	getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()
void	impose(Store store) It imposes the constraint in a given store.
boolean	isStateful() This function can be overriden by any constraint to specify dynamic conditions (based on the domain of variables at imposition level to decide if it is a stateful constraint.
void	removeLevel(int level) This function is called in case of the backtrack, so a constraint can clear the queue of changed variables which is no longer valid.
boolean	satisfied() It checks if the constraint is satisfied.
String	toString() It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Field Detail

index

public final IntVar index

It specifies variable index within an element constraint list[index - indexOffset] = value.

value

public final IntVar value

It specifies variable value within an element constraint list[index - indexOffset] = value.

indexOffset

protected final int indexOffset

It specifies indexOffset within an element constraint list[index - indexOffset] = value.

list

public final IntVar[] list

It specifies list of variables within an element constraint list[index - indexOffset] = value. The list is addressed by positive integers (>=1) if indexOffset is equal to 0.

Constructor Detail

ElementVariableFast

public ElementVariableFast(IntVar index,
                           IntVar[] list,
                           IntVar value,
                           int indexOffset)

It constructs an element constraint.

Parameters:

index - variable index

list - list of variables from which an index-th element is taken

value - a value of the index-th element from list

indexOffset - shift applied to index variable.

ElementVariableFast

public ElementVariableFast(IntVar index,
                           List<? extends IntVar> list,
                           IntVar value)

It constructs an element constraint.

Parameters:

index - variable index

list - list of variables from which an index-th element is taken

value - a value of the index-th element from list

ElementVariableFast

public ElementVariableFast(IntVar index,
                           List<? extends IntVar> list,
                           IntVar value,
                           int indexOffset)

It constructs an element constraint.

Parameters:

index - variable index

list - list of variables from which an index-th element is taken

value - a value of the index-th element from list

indexOffset - shift applied to index variable.

ElementVariableFast

public ElementVariableFast(IntVar index,
                           IntVar[] list,
                           IntVar value)

It constructs an element constraint.

Parameters:

index - variable index

list - list of variables from which an index-th element is taken

value - a value of the index-th element from list

Method Detail

isStateful

public boolean isStateful()

Description copied from interface: Stateful

This function can be overriden by any constraint to specify dynamic conditions (based on the domain of variables at imposition level to decide if it is a stateful constraint.

Specified by:

isStateful in interface Stateful

Returns:

true if constraint is stateful.

impose

public void impose(Store store)

It imposes the constraint in a given store.

Overrides:

impose in class Constraint

Parameters:

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

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.

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

removeLevel

public void removeLevel(int level)

Description copied from interface: Stateful

This function is called in case of the backtrack, so a constraint can clear the queue of changed variables which is no longer valid. This function is called *before* all timestamps, variables, mutablevariables have reverted to their previous value.

Specified by:

removeLevel in interface Stateful

Parameters:

level - the level which is being removed.

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.

Specified by:

satisfied in interface SatisfiedPresent

Returns:

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

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Constraint

It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint
