public Constraint post(java.lang.String name,
                       java.lang.String symbolicExpression)

Description copied from interface: Problem

Creates a Constraint based on the symbolicExpression such as "x*y-z<3*r", adds this constraint to the problem, and returns the newly added Constraint. It is assumed that all variables in the expression were previously created under names used within this expression. If the returned Constraint is null, there is either an error inside the symbolicExpression or there is no concrete solver implementation of this method. In either case, the constraint will not have been added to the problem.

Specified by:: post in interface Problem

Parameters:: name - the name for a new constraint; symbolicExpression - a string that defines a constrained expression that uses already defined variables, e.g. "x*y-z<3*r"
Returns:: the constraint created and added to the problem, or null if there is an error inside the symbolicExpression or if this method is not defined by a concrete solver implementation.
