# reset

Purpose
Reset an entity.
Synopsis
`procedure reset(x:resettable entity)`
Argument

x | A reference to a set, a list, an array, a union, a record, an object of an external type or a problem

Further information
Only types supporting the 'copy' operation ( i.e. they can be assigned a value) can be reset, as a consequence, a record can be reset only if all its fields can also be reset. The effect of this routine depends on the type of the object, typically the object returns to its state just after being created. For instance, applying it to an mpproblem will clear the problem by detaching all constraints it contains.
