IntegerValued (Chips-n-Salsa - A Java library of customizable, hybridizable, iterative, parallel, stochastic, and self-adaptive local search algorithms)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BoundedIntegerVector, IntegerVector, SingleInteger, UndoableUniformMutation, UniformMutation
```
public interface IntegerValued
```
An interface to define the parameters to a function, where the function parameters are represented as integers. Classes implementing this interface may be applicable for function optimization problems.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`int`	`get(int i)`	Accesses the current value of a specified parameter.
`int`	`length()`	Gets the number of parameters.
`void`	`set(int i, int value)`	Sets a function parameter to a specified value.
`int[]`	`toArray(int[] values)`	Accesses the current values of all of the parameters.

- Method Detail
  - length
```
int length()
```
    Gets the number of parameters.
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of parameters for this function.
  - get
```
int get(int i)
```
    Accesses the current value of a specified parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - The parameter to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the i-th parameter.
    
    Throws:
    
    ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if i < 0 or i ≥ length().
  - toArray
```
int[] toArray(int[] values)
```
    Accesses the current values of all of the parameters.
    
    Parameters:
    
    values - An array to hold the result. If values is null or if values.length is not equal to this.length(), then a new array is constructed for the result.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array containing the current values of all of the parameters.
  - set
```
void set(int i,
         int value)
```
    Sets a function parameter to a specified value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - The parameter to set.
    
    value - The new value for the i-th parameter.
    
    Throws:
    
    ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if i < 0 or i ≥ length().
