Re: [gecode-users] Extra level of variables needed for count?

Hi, I think you stopped reading a little too early. MPG says that you can also use integer sets instead of variables. Then, in your example you do not need x and c, just pass b and v directly! IntVarArray is automatically casted to IntVarArgs. Cheers Christian -- Christian Schulte,

Re: [gecode-users] Extra level of variables needed for count?

Thanks. I think I might now be seeing what you are saying. Sorry to be so stupid. I found this count stuff to be mind boggling. IntSetArgs s((LPTYPER)bp.MaxBit); for (LPTYPER i = 0; i < (LPTYPER)bp.MaxBit; i++) {

Yep, that looks good. Gecode will choose the most efficient representation anyway at runtime. Cheers Christian -- Christian Schulte, https://chschulte.github.io/ Professor of Computer Science, KTH, cschu...@kth.se Expert Researcher, RISE SICS,

Re: [gecode-users] Extra level of variables needed for count?

OK thanks for that. This makes the code simpler but I do still have to make a set of variables to contain the multiplicities (the v’s). Of course they immediately become assigned to a single value. Would it be right in assuming the cost of that on the model is very small? Sent from

No, the point is to not use variables, you can use sets with a single element instead. Christian -- Christian Schulte, https://chschulte.github.io/ Professor of Computer Science, KTH, cschu...@kth.se Expert Researcher, RISE SICS,
