Expand description

Core trait for all score types in SolverForge.

Scores represent the quality of a planning solution. They are used to:

  • Compare solutions (better/worse/equal)
  • Guide the optimization process
  • Determine feasibility

All score implementations must be:

  • Immutable (operations return new instances)
  • Thread-safe (Send + Sync)
  • Comparable (total ordering)

§Score Levels

Scores can have multiple levels (e.g., hard/soft constraints):

  • Hard constraints: Must be satisfied for a solution to be feasible
  • Soft constraints: Optimization objectives to maximize/minimize

When comparing scores, higher-priority levels are compared first.

Required Methods§

Source

fn is_feasible(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this score represents a feasible solution.

A solution is feasible when all hard constraints are satisfied (i.e., the hard score is >= 0).

Source

fn zero() -> Self

Returns the zero score (identity element for addition).

Source

fn levels_count() -> usize

Returns the number of score levels.

For example:

  • SimpleScore: 1 level
  • HardSoftScore: 2 levels
  • HardMediumSoftScore: 3 levels
Source

fn to_level_numbers(&self) -> Vec<i64>

Returns the score values as a vector of i64.

The order is from highest priority to lowest priority. For HardSoftScore: [hard, soft]

Source

fn from_level_numbers(levels: &[i64]) -> Self

Creates a score from level numbers.

§Panics

Panics if the number of levels doesn’t match levels_count().

Source

fn multiply(&self, multiplicand: f64) -> Self

Multiplies this score by a scalar.

Source

fn divide(&self, divisor: f64) -> Self

Divides this score by a scalar.

Source

fn abs(&self) -> Self

Returns the absolute value of this score.

Provided Methods§

Source

fn compare(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

Compares two scores, returning the ordering.

Default implementation uses the Ord trait.

Source

fn is_better_than(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Returns true if this score is better than the other score.

In optimization, “better” typically means higher score.

Source

fn is_worse_than(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Returns true if this score is worse than the other score.

Source

fn is_equal_to(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Returns true if this score is equal to the other score.

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
