org.jacop.constraints.Max

All Implemented Interfaces:

SatisfiedPresent

public class Max
extends Constraint
implements SatisfiedPresent

Max constraint implements the Maximum/2 constraint. It provides the maximum variable from all variables on the list.

max(list) = max.

Field Detail

list

public final IntVar[] list

It specifies a list of variables among which a maximum value is being searched for.

max

public final IntVar max

It specifies variable max which stores the maximum value present in the list.

Constructor Detail

Max

public Max(IntVar[] list,
           IntVar max)

It constructs max constraint.

Parameters:

max - variable denoting the maximum value

list - the array of variables for which the maximum value is imposed.

Max

public Max(List<? extends IntVar> variables,
           IntVar max)

It constructs max constraint.

Parameters:

max - variable denoting the maximum value

variables - the array of variables for which the maximum value is imposed.

Method Detail

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

impose

public void impose(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

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.

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
