# xprs_newcol

Purpose
Create and add a new empty column to a problem.
This function is similar to xprs_addcol but instead of returning the prob object, it returns the index of the newly created column.
Synopsis
`xprs_newcol(prob, lb, ub, coltype = NULL, name = NULL, objcoef = NULL)`
Arguments

prob | The problem to which the column is to be added.
lb | The lower bound for the new column.
ub | The upper bound for the new column.
coltype | Character specifying the column type. If this is NULL then the default Xpress column type is used (continuous). Possible values are: C indicates a continuous column. B indicates a binary column. I indicates an integer column. S indicates a semicontinuous column. R indicates a semiinteger column. P indicates a partial integer column.
name | The name for the new column.
objcoef | The objective coefficient for the new column.

Return value
The index of the newly created column.
Further information
This is a variant of addcols() that only adds a single column and also allows specifying type and name of the column.
