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).

See:LSSolutionStatus

Functions

bool 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 (NotANumber)
  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.

Return:True if this expression is violated in this solution.
Since:5.5
See:isUndefined()
Parameters:expr - Expression.

bool 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.

Return:True if this expression has an undefined value in this solution.
Since:7.0
Parameters:expr - Expression.

void 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_Paused or 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 setIntValue.

See:

LSExpression::isDecision()

See:

LSExpression::isInt()

See:

LSExpression::isBool()

Parameters:
  • expr - Decision.
  • value - Value assigned to the decision in this solution.

void setValue(const LSExpression &expr, lsdouble value)

Sets the value of the given expression in this solution.

Only decisions can be set. Only allowed in state S_Paused or S_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 setDoubleValue.

See:

LSExpression::isDecision()

See:

LSExpression::isDouble()

Parameters:
  • expr - Decision.
  • value - Value assigned to the decision in this solution.

void setIntValue(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_Paused or 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.

void setDoubleValue(const LSExpression &expr, lsdouble value)

Sets the value of the given expression in this solution.

Only decisions can be set. Only allowed in state S_Paused or S_Stopped. If the solver was not launched, this value will be used as an initial value for the decision. Only allowed if this expression is a double.
