Interface LSIntArrayBlackBoxFunction

public interface LSIntArrayBlackBoxFunction

Integer array black-box function interface. To use integer array black-box functions with LocalSolver, you have to proceed in 3 steps:

1. Implement the LSIntArrayBlackBoxFunction interface with the call method. The call method must take a LSBlackBoxArgumentValues and must return an integer array value. The argument values contain the values of the expressions passed to the function. A distinction is made between integer arguments (bool, int) and floating point arguments (double).
2. Instantiate the function as an LSExpression with LSModel.createIntArrayBlackBoxFunction(localsolver.LSIntArrayBlackBoxFunction) or the dedicated shortcut LSModel.intArrayBlackBoxFunction(localsolver.LSIntArrayBlackBoxFunction).
3. Pass arguments to your function and call it. For that, you have to create expressions of type LSOperator.Call. The first operand must be your black-box function. The other operands must be LSExpressions. Their value will be made accessible to your black-box function through the LSBlackBoxArgumentValues.

Note: You can provide additional data for your function (such as the maximum number of evaluations) with the help of the LSBlackBoxContext associated with the function (see LSExpression.getBlackBoxContext()).
