About
Satisfyer is a Deno module that allows you to solve a so-called Constraint-Satisfaction-Problem (CSP). This module includes several solvers to fit your use case.
- Brute-Force-Solver
- Backtrack-Solver
- Constraint-Propagation-Solver
Example
Import the solver function from mod.ts
and define your problem using the CSP
type. The solver takes a CSP and optionally a solver of your choice as
parameters, by default the constraint-propagation method will be used. A CSP is
constructed using a dictionary with variables
, values
and constraints
as
keys, and its corresponding values as a set of strings
. Values can also be
defined as a set of numbers
.
The solver takes the CSP as a parameter and returns the solution.
8-Queens-Problem as CSP and calling the solver:
import { CSP, solve } from "https://deno.land/x/satisfyer/mod.ts";
//Defining variables, values and constraints using loops
const variables = new Set(Array.from({ length: 8 }, (_, i) => `V${i + 1}`));
const values = new Set(Array.from({ length: 8 }, (_, i) => i + 1));
const constraints = new Set<string>();
//adding constraints
for (let i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
for (let j = 1; j <= 8; j++) {
if (i < j) {
constraints.add(`V${i} != V${j}`);
constraints.add(
`Math.abs(V${j} - V${i}) != ${j - i}`,
);
}
}
}
//The CSP
const csp: CSP = {
variables: variables,
values: values,
constraints: constraints,
};
// const solution = solve(csp);
const solution = solve(csp, "bruteforce");
console.log(solution);
