Method Detail

newVar

public int newVar()

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create a new variable in the solver (and thus in the vocabulary). WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE TO PRECOMPUTE THE NUMBER OF VARIABLES NEEDED AND TO USE newVar(howmany) INSTEAD. IF YOU EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM OF EFFICIENCY WHEN READING/BUILDING YOUR SAT INSTANCE, PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU ARE NOT USING THAT METHOD.

Specified by:

newVar in interface ISolver

Returns:

the number of variables available in the vocabulary, which is the identifier of the new variable.

newVar

public int newVar(int howmany)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

Create howmany variables in the solver (and thus in the vocabulary).

Specified by:

newVar in interface ISolver

Parameters:

howmany - number of variables to create

Returns:

the total number of variables available in the solver (the highest variable number)

setExpectedNumberOfClauses

public void setExpectedNumberOfClauses(int nb)

Description copied from interface: ISolver

To inform the solver of the expected number of clauses to read. This is an optional method, that is called when the p cnf line is read in dimacs formatted input file.

Specified by:

setExpectedNumberOfClauses in interface ISolver

Parameters:

nb - the expected number of clauses.

addClause

public IConstr addClause(IVecInt literals)
                  throws ContradictionException

Specified by:

addClause in interface ISolver

Parameters:

literals - a set of literals

Returns:

a reference to the constraint added in the solver, to use in removeConstr().

removeConstr

public boolean removeConstr(IConstr c)
