getctrnextterm

Purpose
Enumerate the list of terms contained in a linear constraint.
Synopsis
void *getctrnextterm(XPRMcontext ctx, XPRMlinctr ctr, void *prev, XPRMmpvar *var, double *coeff);
Arguments
ctx 
Mosel's execution context
ctr 
Reference to a linear constraint
prev 
Last value returned by this function. Should be NULL for the first call
var 
Pointer to return the decision variable reference for the current term
coeff 
Pointer to return the coefficient of the current term
Return value
The value to be used as prev for the next call or NULL when all terms have been returned.
Example
The following function displays the terms of a linear constraint. 
void displinctr(XPRMcontext ctx, XPRMlinctr ctr)
{	
 void *prev;
 XPRMmpvar v;
 double coeff;
	
 prev=mm->getctrnextterm(ctx, ctr, NULL, &v, &coeff);
 mm->printf(ctx, "%g ",coeff);
 while(prev!=NULL) {
  prev=mm->getctrnextterm(ctx, ctr, prev, &v, &coeff);
  mm->printf(ctx, "%+g %p ", coeff, v);
 }
 mm->printf(ctx, "\n");
}
Further information
1. This function can be called repeatedly to enumerate all terms of a linear constraint. For the first call, the parameter prev must be NULL and the function returns the constant term of the linear constraint (the value returned for var is then NULL and coeff contains the constant term). For the following calls, the value of prev must be the last value returned by the function. The enumeration is completed when the function returns NULL.
2. With a range constraint it is possible to retrieve the lower bound of the range using the special value -1 for the prev parameter. In this case the function returns always NULL.
