Object storing a linear constraint of the form lowerBound ≤ Sum(a(i) x(i)) ≤ upperBound where lowerBound and upperBound are constants, a(i) are constant coefficients and x(i) are variables (unknowns).

The example below creates one variable x with values between 0 and 5 and creates the constraint 0 ≤ 2 * x ≤ 5. This is done by first creating a constraint with the lower bound 5 and upper bound 5. Then the coefficient for variable x in this constraint is set to 2.

constengine=LinearOptimizationService.createEngine();// Create a variable so we can add it to the constraintengine.addVariable('x',0,5);// Create a linear constraint with the bounds 0 and 10constconstraint=engine.addConstraint(0,10);// Set the coefficient of the variable in the constraint. The constraint is now:// 0 <= 2 * x <= 5constraint.setCoefficient('x',2);
