# highs-sys
[](https://docs.rs/highs-sys)
Rust binding for the HiGHS linear programming solver.
See http://highs.dev.
## Example
```rust
// This illustrates the use of Highs_call, the simple C interface to
// HiGHS. It's designed to solve the general LP problem
//
// Min c^Tx subject to L <= Ax <= U; l <= x <= u
//
// where A is a matrix with m rows and n columns
//
// The scalar n is numcol
// The scalar m is numrow
//
// The vector c is colcost
// The vector l is collower
// The vector u is colupper
// The vector L is rowlower
// The vector U is rowupper
//
// The matrix A is represented in packed column-wise form: only its
// nonzeros are stored
//
// * The number of nonzeros in A is nnz
//
// * The row indices of the nonnzeros in A are stored column-by-column
// in aindex
//
// * The values of the nonnzeros in A are stored column-by-column in
// avalue
//
// * The position in aindex/avalue of the index/value of the first
// nonzero in each column is stored in astart
//
// Note that astart[0] must be zero
//
// After a successful call to Highs_call, the primal and dual
// solution, and the simplex basis are returned as follows
//
// The vector x is colvalue
// The vector Ax is rowvalue
// The vector of dual values for the variables x is coldual
// The vector of dual values for the variables Ax is rowdual
// The basic/nonbasic status of the variables x is colbasisstatus
// The basic/nonbasic status of the variables Ax is rowbasisstatus
//
// The status of the solution obtained is modelstatus
//
// To solve maximization problems, the values in c must be negated
//
// The use of Highs_call is illustrated for the LP
//
// Min f = 2x_0 + 3x_1
// s.t. x_1 <= 6
// 10 <= x_0 + 2x_1 <= 14
// 8 <= 2x_0 + x_1
// 0 <= x_0 <= 3; 1 <= x_1
