Constructor Detail

SolutionCostPair

public SolutionCostPair(T solution,
                        int cost)

Constructs a SolutionCostPair with integer cost.

Parameters:

solution - The solution.

cost - The cost of the solution.

SolutionCostPair

public SolutionCostPair(T solution,
                        double cost)

Constructs a SolutionCostPair with integer cost.

Parameters:

solution - The solution.

cost - The cost of the solution.

Method Detail

getCost

public int getCost()

Gets the cost contained in this solution cost pair as an int. Behavior is undefined if costs are floating-point values.

Returns:

the cost

getCostDouble

public double getCostDouble()

Gets the cost contained in this solution cost pair as a double.

Returns:

the cost of the current best solution

getSolution

public T getSolution()

Gets the solution in this solution cost pair.

Returns:

the solution

containsIntCost

public boolean containsIntCost()

Checks whether the cost of the solution contained in this SolutionCostPair is integer valued.

Returns:

true if the solution has integer valued cost, and false otherwise. If this method returns false, then the behavior of the getCost() method is undefined.

compareTo

public int compareTo(SolutionCostPair<T> other)

Compares this SolutionCostPair with the specified SolutionCostPair for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this SolutionCostPair has a cost that is less than, equal to, or greater than the cost of the specified SolutionCostPair.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<T extends Copyable<T>>

Parameters:

other - The other SolutionCostPair with which to compare.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this SolutionCostPair has a cost that is less than, equal to, or greater than the cost of the specified SolutionCostPair
