?Vars :: ?Range
Range constraint with optional integrality constraint
- Vars
- Variable or number, or a list of variables or numbers
- Range
- Variable or Lo..Hi, where Lo and Hi are variables or numeric expressions
Description
This constraint suspends until its arguments are ground. It then succeeds
iff all the elements of the list Vars are numbers within the range
specified by Range.
The range must eventually be in the form Lo..Hi, where Lo and Hi are
expressions evaluating to numbers. If both are integers, then Vars must
also be integers (integer or list of integers).
Modules
This predicate is sensitive to its module context (tool predicate, see @/2).
Fail Conditions
Vars contains numbers that do not fall within Range, or violate the optional integrality constraint.
Examples
% with integrality constraint
?- X :: 1 .. 5, X = 3.
X = 3
Yes (0.00s cpu)
?- X :: 1 .. 5, X = 6.
No (0.00s cpu)
?- X :: 1 .. 5, X = 3.0.
No (0.00s cpu)
% without integrality constraint
?- X :: 1.0 .. 5.0, X = 3.
X = 3
Yes (0.00s cpu)
?- X :: 1.0 .. 5.0, X = 3.0.
X = 3.0
Yes (0.00s cpu)
