Detailed Description

Represents a Interval variable.

An interval variable is both a constraint and a variable. It is defined by three objects: start, size, and end. All three can be an integer variable, a constant, or an affine expression.

It is a constraint because, internally, it enforces that start + size == end.

It is also a variable as it can appear in specific scheduling constraints: NoOverlap, NoOverlap2D, Cumulative.

Optionally, a presence literal can be added to this constraint. This presence literal is understood by the same constraints. These constraints ignore interval variables with precence literals assigned to false. Conversely, these constraints will also set these presence literals to false if they cannot fit these intervals into the schedule.

It can only be constructed via CpModelBuilder.NewIntervalVar().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IntervalVar()

A default constructed IntervalVar can be used to mean not defined yet.

However, it shouldn't be passed to any of the functions in this file. Doing so will crash in debug mode and will result in an invalid model in opt mode.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DebugString()

std::string DebugString ( ) const

Returns a debug string.

◆ EndExpr()

LinearExpr EndExpr ( ) const

Returns the end linear expression.

Note that this rebuilds the expression each time this method is called.

◆ index()

int index ( ) const
inline

Returns the index of the interval constraint in the model.

Definition at line 492 of file cp_model.h.

◆ Name()

std::string Name ( ) const

Returns the name of the interval (or the empty string if not set).

◆ operator!=()

bool operator!= ( const IntervalVar other) const
inline

Difference test with another interval variable.

Definition at line 484 of file cp_model.h.

◆ operator==()

bool operator== ( const IntervalVar other) const
inline

Equality test with another interval variable.

Definition at line 479 of file cp_model.h.

◆ PresenceBoolVar()

BoolVar PresenceBoolVar ( ) const

Returns a BoolVar indicating the presence of this interval.

It returns CpModelBuilder.TrueVar() if the interval is not optional.

◆ SizeExpr()

LinearExpr SizeExpr ( ) const

Returns the size linear expression.

Note that this rebuilds the expression each time this method is called.

◆ StartExpr()

LinearExpr StartExpr ( ) const

Returns the start linear expression.

Note that this rebuilds the expression each time this method is called.

◆ WithName()

IntervalVar WithName ( const std::string &  name)

Sets the name of the variable.
