element


Purpose
This constraint states that a variable z is the x th element of an ordered list of integer V, in its ternary form it states that z is the [x,y]-th element of a matrix of integers M
Synopsis
element(x+I) = C
element(V,x{,I}) = C
element(V,x{,I}) = z with x,z cpvar and I integer
z = element(V,x{,I}) with x,z cpvar and I integer
element(M,x,y) = z with x,y,z cpvar
z = element(M,x,y) with x,y,z cpvar
Arguments
a constant integer value
the value variable
first index variable
second index variable
optional constant offset for index
a one-dimensional array of integer values
a matrix (two-dimensional array) of integers
Return value
An element constraint over z, x and y in the ternary form, over x and z in the binary form
Example
The following example shows how to use the element constraint:
model "Element"
 uses "kalis"
