What is constraint programming?

Provides a brief definition of constraint programming.

Constraint programming consists of optimizing a function subject to logical, arithmetic, or functional constraints over discrete variables or interval variables, or finding a feasible solution to a problem defined by logical, arithmetic, or functional constraints over discrete variables or interval variables.

See Constraint programming for more information.
