Constraint

java.lang.Object
- org.opt4j.core.Criterion
- - org.opt4j.core.Constraint

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Constraint>

Direct Known Subclasses:

InfeasibilityConstraint, SatisfactionConstraint
```
public abstract class Constraint
extends Criterion
implements Comparable<Constraint>
```
The Constraint is the identifier for a single constraint in the Constraints. It is the superclass for concrete constraints. It is specified by the following properties:
- Name
- Direction
- Limit
Each Evaluator sets a specific amount of Constraint-Value pairs.
