Method Summary
 boolean propagate(UnitPropagationListener s, int p)
          Propagate the truth value of a literal in constraints in which that literal is falsified.
 Constr toConstraint()
          Allow to access a constraint view of the propagatable to avoid casting.
 

Method Detail

propagate

boolean propagate(UnitPropagationListener s,
                  int p)
Propagate the truth value of a literal in constraints in which that literal is falsified.

Parameters:
s - something able to perform unit propagation
p - the literal being propagated. Its negation must appear in the constraint.
Returns:
false iff an inconsistency (a contradiction) is detected.

toConstraint

Constr toConstraint()
Allow to access a constraint view of the propagatable to avoid casting. In most cases, the constraint will implement directly propagatable thus will return itself. It will also also the implementation of more sophisticated watching strategy.

Returns:
the constraint associated to that propagatable.

2.3.2
