problem.setObjective

problem.setObjective

Purpose
Sets the objective function of the problem.
Synopsis
problem.setObjective (expr)
Argument
expr 
A linear or quadratic function of the variables that were added to the problem prior to this call. An error will be returned if any variable in the linear or quadratic part of the objective was not added to the problem via addVariable.
Example
The following example sets the objective function of the problem to [2x12 + 3x1x2 + 5x22 + 4x1 + 4]: 
x1 = xpress.var ()
x2 = xpress.var ()
p = xpress.problem ()
p.addVariables (x1, x2)
p.setObjective (2*x1**2 + 3*x1*x2 + 5*x2**2 + 4*x1 + 4)
Further information
Multiple calls to setObjective are allowed, and each replaces the old objective function with a new one.
