Loading the code and problem instance

First, the Swipl program should be started. This can be done in multiple ways depending on your installation. On Linux or Mac, one can use Terminal to go to the directory of my project and execute swipl there. Next, the load_code.pl file should be consulted. If you started Swipl using Terminal in the project directory, it is sufficient to execute consult(load_code). The instance to be used also needs to be consulted (such files aren't included in this repository, please see this, this and this file. This can be done before or after consulting the load_code.pl file. When this is all done, it is possible to run the predicates listed.

Usable predicates

• is_valid(?S)
• cost(+S,?Cost)
• violates_sc(+S,-SC)
• find_optimal(-S)
• is_optimal(?S)
• find_heuristically(-S)
• find_heuristically(-S,+T)
• pretty_print(+S)
• pretty_print(+SID,+S)
