Enum Constant Summary

CUSTOM
custom selector

IN_DOMAIN
try values in increasing order one at a time without removing failed values on backtracking

MAX
try values in increasing order, remove value on backtracking

MEDIAN
try the median values first, e.g if domain has 5 values, try the third value first

MIDDLE
try values in the middle of domain, the closest to (min+max)/2

MIN
try values in increasing order, remove value on backtracking

MIN_IMPACT
try a value which causes the smallest domain reduction in all other variables

MIN_MAX_ALTERNATE
try to alternate minimal and maximal values

RANDOM
try a random value

Method Summary

Method Detail

valueOf

public static ValueSelectorType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

values

public static ValueSelectorType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ValueSelectorType c : ValueSelectorType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
