Constructor	Description
Lex(SetVar a, SetVar b)	Deprecated. It constructs an Lexical ordering constraint to restrict the domain of the variables a and b.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	consistency(Store store)	Deprecated. It is a (most probably incomplete) consistency function which removes the values from variables domains.
int	getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()	Deprecated.
void	impose(Store store)	Deprecated. It imposes the constraint in a given store.
void	removeLevel(int level)	Deprecated. This function is called in case of the backtrack, so a constraint can clear the queue of changed variables which is no longer valid.
java.lang.String	toString()	Deprecated. It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Constructor Detail

Lex

public Lex(SetVar a,
           SetVar b)

Deprecated.

It constructs an Lexical ordering constraint to restrict the domain of the variables a and b. It is strict by default.

Parameters:

a - variable that is restricted to be less than b with lexical order.

b - variable that is restricted to be greater than a with lexical order.

Lex

public Lex(SetVar a,
           SetVar b,
           boolean strict)

Deprecated.

It constructs an Lexical ordering constraint to restrict the domain of the variables a and b.

Parameters:

a - variable that is restricted to be less than b with lexical order.

b - variable that is restricted to be greater than a with lexical order.

strict - specifies if the lex relation is strict.

Method Detail

consistency

public void consistency(Store store)

Deprecated.

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()

Deprecated.

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

impose

public void impose(Store store)

Deprecated.

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.

removeLevel

public void removeLevel(int level)

Deprecated.

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.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Constraint

It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint
