We're excited to share that we are moving forward. We're leaving behind the LocalSolver brand and transitioning to our new identity: Hexaly. This represents a leap forward in our mission to enable every organization to make better decisions faster when faced with operational and strategic challenges.

This page is for an old version of Hexaly Optimizer. We recommend that you update your version and read the documentation for the latest stable release.

LSSolution Class

class localsolver.LSSolution

Solution to the optimization model. A solution carries the values of all expressions in the model. It is used to retrieve the values of all expressions (getting the solution), or to set the values of some decisions (setting the solution).

LSSolutionStatus

void SetValue(LSExpression expr, long value)

Sets the value of the given expression in this solution. Only decisions can be set. Only allowed in state Paused or Stopped. Only allowed if this expression is an integer or a boolean. If the solver was not launched, this value will be used as an initial value for the decision.

This method has the same behavior as LSSolution.SetIntValue.

Arguments
  • expr (LSExpression) – Decision.

  • value (long) – Value assigned to the decision in this solution.

void SetValue(LSExpression expr, double value)

Sets the value of the given expression in this solution. Only decisions can be set. Only allowed in state Paused or Stopped. Only allowed if this expression is a double. If the solver was not launched, this value will be used as an initial value for the decision.

This method has the same behavior as LSSolution.SetDoubleValue.

Arguments
  • expr (LSExpression) – Decision.

  • value (double) – Value assigned to the decision in this solution.
