Method Detail

variables

public Vector variables()

The list of variables of this constraint

Overrides:

variables in class Constraint

assignedVariables

public EnumerableCollection assignedVariables()

The list of variables of this constraint that are assigned

Overrides:

assignedVariables in class Constraint

addVariable

public void addVariable(Variable variable)

Add a variable to this constraint

Overrides:

addVariable in class Constraint

removeVariable

public void removeVariable(Variable variable)

Remove a variable from this constraint

Overrides:

removeVariable in class Constraint

assigned

public void assigned(long iteration,
                     Value value)

Given value is to be assigned to its varable. In this method, the constraint should unassigns all varaibles which are in conflict with the given assignment because of this constraint.

Overrides:

assigned in class Constraint

unassigned

public void unassigned(long iteration,
                       Value value)

Given value is unassigned from its varable.

Overrides:

unassigned in class Constraint
