Using the Interactive Optimizer

The Interactive Optimizer solves the model in this way.

The following sample is screen output from a CPLEX Interactive Optimizer session where the model of an example is entered and solved. CPLEX> indicates the CPLEX prompt, and text following this prompt is user input.

CPLEX> enter example
Enter new problem ['end' on a separate line terminates]:
maximize  x1 + 2 x2 + 3 x3
subject to -x1 +  x2 + x3 <= 20
            x1 - 3 x2 + x3 <=30
bounds
0 <= x1 <= 40
0 <= x2
0 <= x3
