```
    Boolean decision. Decisional operator with no operand. Decision variable with domain {0,1}.

    4.0
  - Const
```
public static final LSOperator Const
```
    Constant. Operator with no argument. Constants can be booleans, integers or doubles. Note that constants 0 or 1 are considered as boolean. Constants are implicitly created when passing lsint or lsdouble arguments to LSModel.createExpression(localsolver.LSOperator) or LSExpression.addOperand(localsolver.LSExpression). They can also be created with the dedicated function LSModel.createConstant(long).
  - Sum

```
    Sum. N-ary arithmetic operator. SUM(e1, e2, ..., eN) is equal to the sum of all operands e1, e2, ..., eN. This operator returns an integer if all the operands are booleans or integers and a double as soon as one operand is a double.
    With collections (lists, sets) or ranges
    This operator can also be used with Range, List or Set to create expressions with a dynamic number of operands. In that case, this operator becomes a binary operator that takes a range, a list or a set as first operand and a LambdaFunction as second operand. The operator will call the function on each value of the range, list or set and will sum all the values computed and returned by the function.

    With collections (lists, sets) or ranges
    This operator can also be used with Range, List or Set to create expressions with a dynamic number of operands. In that case, this operator becomes a binary operator that takes a range, a list or a set as first operand and a LambdaFunction as second operand. The operator will call the function on each value of the range, list or set and will compute the product of all the values returned by the function.
  - Max

```
    Absolute value. Unary arithmetic operator. ABS(e) = e >= 0 ? e : -e. This operator returns an integer if the operand is a boolean or an integer, and a double otherwise.

  - Array
```
public static final LSOperator Array
```
    Array. An array is a collection of elements. Indexes begin at 0. It could be used with operators like At or Scalar. An array doesn't have a value by itself, but can contain operands of type boolean, integer, double or array (for multi-dimensional arrays). All the elements of an array must be of the same type.
    With ranges
    This operator can also be used with Range to create an array with a dynamic number of elements. In that case, this operator becomes a binary operator that takes a range as first operand and a LambdaFunction. The operator will call the function on each value of the range and the returned values will be used to populate the array.
    
    Since:
    
    2.1
  - At
```
public static final LSOperator At
```
    Returns the element at specific coordinates of an array or a list.
    For arrays
    The first operand must be the array and the other operands must be the coordinates of the element to get. The number of coordinates depends on the dimension of the array. Thus AT(myArray, i) returns the i element of the one-dimensional array myArray. This operator returns a boolean, an integer or a double according to the type of the operands in the array. If one of the specified coordinate is out of range, the evaluation of the expression will fail.
    For lists
    The first operand must be the list and the second operand must be the index of the element to get. If the index is out of range (index < 0 or index > count(list)), the evaluation of the expression will not fail but will return -1.
    
    Since:
    
    2.1
  - Scalar
```
public static final LSOperator Scalar
```
    Scalar product. SCALAR(a, x) = sum(a[i]*x[i]) where a and x are two one-dimensional arrays. This operator returns an integer or a double according to the type of the operands in the arrays.
    
    Since:
    
    2.1
  - Ceil
```
public static final LSOperator Ceil
```
    Ceil. Unary arithmetic operator. Returns a value rounded to the next highest integer. The operand can be a boolean, an integer or a double. This operator returns an integer.

    Since:
    
    3.0
  - Cos
```
public static final LSOperator Cos
```

    Since:
    
    3.0
  - Sin

public static final LSOperator Sin
```
    Sine. Unary arithmetic operator. The operand can be a boolean, an integer or a double. This operator returns a double.

public static final LSOperator Tan
```

    Since:
    
    5.0
  - Piecewise
```
public static final LSOperator Piecewise
```
    Piecewise-linear function operator. The piecewise linear function is defined by two arrays of numbers giving the breakpoints of the function. This operator has exactly 3 operands: The first two operands must be two arrays of equal sizes (necessarily larger or equal to 2). These arrays must contain constant numbers (integers or doubles). The first array must contain numbers in ascending order. The third operand must be an integer or a double expression. The evaluation of the piecewise will fail if the value of the third operand is strictly smaller that the first element of the first array, or strictly larger than the last element of the first array. This operator returns a double.
    
    PIECEWISE(x,y,z) returns the image of z by the function defined by geometric points (x[0],y[0]), (x[1],y[1]), ..., (x[n-1],y[n-1]), For instance PIECEWISE(ARRAY(0, 50, 100), ARRAY(0, 10, 100), 75) returns 55.
    
    Discontinuities are allowed in the definition of the function, that is to say that two geometric points can share the same x-coordinate. By convention the value taken by the function at such a discontinuous point is the one associated to the last occurrence of this x-coordinate in array x. For instance PIECEWISE(ARRAY(0, 50, 50, 100), ARRAY(0, 0.1, 0.9, 1), 50) returns 0.9.
    
    Since:
    
    5.0
  - List
```
public static final LSOperator List
```
    A list is an ordered collection of integers within a range [0, n-1] where n is the unique argument of this operator. Mathematically a list is a permutation of a subset of [0, n-1]. This operator takes exactly one operand: a strictly positive integer constant. All values in the list will be pairwise different, non negative and strictly smaller that this number.
    
    The elements of the list can be accessed individually with the operator At.
    
    Since:
    
    5.5
  - Count
```
public static final LSOperator Count
```

```
    The index of a value in a list (-1 if the value is not in the list). This operator takes exactly two arguments: the first one is a list, the second one is an integer expression.

    Since:
    
    5.5

```
public static final LSOperator Argument
```
    Argument of a function. Arguments are automatically and implicitely created when you create a function with method LSModel.createLambdaFunction(localsolver.LSLambdaFunction0).
    
    Since:
    
    7.0
  - Range
```
public static final LSOperator Range
```
    Range expression. This operator takes exactly two integer operands. The first one is the lower bound (inclusive), the second one is the upper bound (exclusive).
    
    A range doesn't have a value by itself but can be used with N-ary operators like Sum, Prod, Min, Max, Or, And, Xor or Array to create expressions that have a dynamic number of operands.
    
    Since:
    
    7.0
  - Contains
```
public static final LSOperator Contains
```
    Contains. contains(l, v) is true if and only if the list l contains the value v. This operator takes exactly two arguments: the first one is a list, the second one is an integer expression.
