Getting Started

The API is fairly low-level at the moment

Load a problem

model =
  Clp.load_problem(
    sense: :minimize,
    start: [0, 3, 6],
    index: [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2],
    value: [2, 3, 2, 2, 4, 1],
    col_lower: [0, 0],
    col_upper: [1e30, 1e30],
    obj: [8, 10],
    row_lower: [7, 12, 6],
    row_upper: [1e30, 1e30, 1e30]
  )

Solve

model.solve

Write the problem to an MPS file (requires Clp 1.17.2+)

model.write_mps("hello.mps")

Read a problem from an MPS file

model = Clp.read_mps("hello.mps")

Reference

Set the log level

model.solve(log_level: 4)

Set the time limit in seconds
