the Use of implication constraints
funcImplication
- ExternalLangDef to specify logical implication.
The implication is a function that takes two logical operands: antecedents and consequences, can take the following values:
Prerequisite | Consequence | Result |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1 |
0 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 1 |
Logically, the implication “If a, then b” is equal to “(not a) or b”. For example, a constraint of the form: “If nickname = snow leopard, then gender = male” would lead to the conclusion all cats with the male sex and all (not snow leopard).
Example
All Ivans Ivanovs and not Ivanov
var langDef = new ExternalLangDef();
Function function = langDef.GetFunction(langDef.funcImplication,
langDef.GetFunction(langDef.funcEQ, new VariableDef(langDef.StringType, Last name),"Ivanov"),
langDef.GetFunction(langDef.funcEQ, new VariableDef(langDef.StringType, "Name"), "Ivan"));
