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 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

Functions

void LSSolution::setValue(const LSExpression &expr, lsint value)

Sets the value of the given expression in this solution. Only decisions can be set. Only allowed in state S_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().

Parameters
  • expr – Decision.

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

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().

Parameters
  • expr – Decision.

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

lsint LSSolution::getValue(const LSExpression &expr)

Returns the value of the given expression in this solution. Only allowed in states S_Paused or S_Stopped. Only allowed if this expression is an integer or a boolean. This method has the same behavior as LSSolution::getIntValue().

Parameters

expr – Expression.

LSExpression::isInt()

See

LSExpression::isBool()

Returns

Value of the expression in this solution.

lsdouble LSSolution::getDoubleValue(const LSExpression &expr)

Returns the value of the given expression in this solution. Only allowed in states S_Paused or S_Stopped. Only allowed if this expression is a double.

bool LSSolution::isViolated(const LSExpression &expr)

Returns true if the given expression is violated in this solution. An expression can be violated in 3 cases:

  1. it is a constraint and its value is 0

  2. it is a a double objective and its value is NaN (not a number)

  3. it is a constraint with no valid value (arithmetic or out of bounds exception or NaN operands).

Note that only constraints and objectives can be violated. Other expression can have undefined value provided that it does not impact a constraint or objective.

Only allowed in states S_Paused or S_Stopped.

Parameters

expr – Expression.

Returns

True if this expression is violated in this solution.

LSSolution::isUndefined()

bool LSSolution::isUndefined(const LSExpression &expr)

Returns true if the given expression has an undefined value in this solution. An expression can be undefined in 2 cases:

  1. it is a a double and its value is NaN (NotANumber)

  2. it is an integer or boolean with no valid value (arithmetic or out of bounds exception).

Only allowed in states S_Paused or S_Stopped.

Parameters

expr – Expression.

Returns

True if this expression has an undefined value in this solution.
