Solving

What does your user need to know to solve a problem?

Up to here, we have seen how to model a problem with the Model object. To solve it, we need to use the Solver object that is obtained from the model as follows:

Solver solver = model.getSolver();

The Solver is in charge of alternating constraint-propagation with search, and possibly learning, in order to compute solutions. This object may be configured in various ways.
