ConstraintIfc

Used to turn greater than inequalities to less than inequalities

The string for inequality either <= or >=

The type of inequality less than or greater than

The right-hand side of the constraint adjusted for the direction of the inequality to ensure a less-than constraint

An optional, constraint-specific penalty function. If null, the solver will fall back to the type-level default penalty function defined in the ProblemDefinition.

The right-hand side of the constraint

Computes the value of the left-hand side of the constraint based on the supplied values for each input variable in the equation. The calculation should take into account the direction of the inequality such that the inequality is interpreted as less than.

Computes the value of the left-hand side of the constraint based on the supplied values for each input variable in the equation and checks if the constraint is satisfied.

Evaluates the constraint against the provided inputs and generates a formatted string reporting the result (LHS, RHS, and Violation).

The slack associated with the constraint based on the provided inputs. This is the difference between the right-hand side value and the left-hand side value.

The violation associated with the constraint. This is max(0, LHS - RHS) assuming a less-than type of constraint.
