All Implemented Interfaces:
SatisfiedPresent, Stateful, UsesQueueVariable
public class ElementInteger extends Constraint implements UsesQueueVariable, Stateful, SatisfiedPresent
ElementInteger constraint defines a relation list[index - indexOffset] = value.

The first element of the list corresponds to index - indexOffset = 1. By default indexOffset is equal 0 so first value within a list corresponds to index equal 1.

If index has a domain from 0 to list.length-1 then indexOffset has to be equal -1 to make addressing of list array starting from 1.

  • Field Details

    • idNumber

      static AtomicInteger idNumber

    • firstConsistencyCheck

      boolean firstConsistencyCheck

    • firstConsistencyLevel

      int firstConsistencyLevel

    • limitForDomainPruning

      static final int limitForDomainPruning
      It specifies the maximal size of index domain when the constraint will apply domain consistency for value. Otherwise bound consistency is applied. This limit applies to both duplicates and index.
      See Also:

    • minDuplicatesSize

      static final int minDuplicatesSize
      It specifies the minimal size of number of duplicated values on the list that are consodered together.. Otherwise they are processed one by one.
      See Also:

    • index

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

    • value

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

    • indexOffset

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

    • checkDuplicates

      public final boolean checkDuplicates
      It specifies whether duplicate values should be treated specially (combined to a single check). In general a good idea but when lists are long it makes the process slower instead of faster.

    • list

      public int[] 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.

    • indexHasChanged

      boolean indexHasChanged
      It specifies for each value what are the possible values of the index variable (it takes into account indexOffset.

    • valueHasChanged

      boolean valueHasChanged

    • duplicates

      List<IntDomain> duplicates
      It holds information about the positions within list array that are equal. It allows to safely skip duplicates when enumerating index domain. duplicatesIndexes is a domain having indexes of all indexes for duplicates.

    • duplicatesIndexes

      IntDomain duplicatesIndexes

  • Method Details

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • disjoint

      boolean disjoint(IntDomain v1, int v2)

    • getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

      public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()
      Specified by:
      getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

    • 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.

    • queueVariable

      public void queueVariable(int level, Var var)
      Description copied from class: Constraint
      This is a function called to indicate which variable in a scope of constraint has changed. It also indicates a store level at which the change has occurred.
      Overrides:
      queueVariable in class Constraint
      Parameters:
      level - the level of the store at which the change has occurred.
      var - variable which has changed.

    • 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
