Functions¶

LSExpression createConstant(lsint value)¶

Creates a constant expression representing the given value.

LSExpression createLambdaFunction(const A &functor)¶

Creates a lambda function.

A lambda function is a particular expression composed of two parts:

• The body of the function. The body is an LSExpression that will be used to evaluate the result of the function. The body can be any LSExpression composed of any operands and operators supported by LocalSolver. Thus, the body expression can use the arguments of the function but can also capture and refer to expressions declared outside of the function.

You have to provide the body of the function as a std::function (C++ function or lambda). Please note that the provided std::function will not be used directly during the solving process, but will be evaluated once by the API with a number of LSExpression of type O_Argument that corresponds to the number of arguments your std::function expects. The returned LSExpression resulting of this evaluation will be used as the body of the LocalSolver function O_LambdaFunction.

Return:	The expression associated to the function.

Return:	Number of operands.

void close()¶

Closes the model.

Only allowed in state S_Modeling. When this method is called, the solver is placed in state S_Stopped.

Once the model is closed, no expressions, constraints or objectives can be added or removed unless the model is reopened. The model must be closed before starting its resolution.

Reopens the model.

Only allowed in state S_Stopped. When this method is called, the solver is placed in state S_Modeling.

In this state, the model can be modified: it is possible to add new expressions, constraints or objectives, modify expression operands, and remove existing constraints and objectives. However, existing expressions cannot be deleted.
