Class COptQuestPermutationVariable

java.lang.Object
  com.opttek.optquest.COptQuestVariable
      com.opttek.optquest.COptQuestPermutationVariable

public class COptQuestPermutationVariable

extends COptQuestVariable

Permutation variables are used to solve sequencing problems. For example, you could use permutation variables to determine the order in which paint should be mixed to minimize cleanup time between color changes. The value of a permutation variable represents the order within the sequence.
