Method Detail

getConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getConsistencyPruningEvent(Var var)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It retrieves the pruning event which causes reevaluation of the constraint.

Overrides:

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)

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.

queueVariable

public void queueVariable(int level,
                          Var variable)

Search & Backtracking

Overrides:

queueVariable in class Constraint

Parameters:

level - the level of the store at which the change has occurred.

variable - variable which has changed.

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.

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This function is called in case of the backtrack, so a constraint can clear the queue of changed variables which is no longer valid.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.

removeLevelLate

public void removeLevelLate(int level)

Description copied from interface: RemoveLevelLate

This function is called in case of the backtrack. It is called after all timestamps, variables, mutablevariables have reverted to their values *after* removing the level.

Specified by:

removeLevelLate in interface RemoveLevelLate

Parameters:

level - the level which is being removed.

toString

public String toString()

Identifiers

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint
