=head1 NAME
Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking::Ordered - A simple Backtracking SAT ordered implementation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# You can use it with Algorithm::SAT::Expression
use Algorithm::SAT::Expression;
my $expr = Algorithm::SAT::Expression->new->with("Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking::Ordered");
$expr->or( '-foo@2.1', 'bar@2.2' );
$expr->or( '-foo@2.3', 'bar@2.2' );
$expr->or( '-baz@2.3', 'bar@2.3' );
$expr->or( '-baz@1.2', 'bar@2.2' );
my $model = $exp->solve();
# Or you can use it directly:
use Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking::Ordered;
my $solver = Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking::Ordered->new;
my $variables = [ 'blue', 'green', 'yellow', 'pink', 'purple' ];
my $clauses = [
[ 'blue', 'green', '-yellow' ],
[ '-blue', '-green', 'yellow' ],
[ 'pink', 'purple', 'green', 'blue', '-yellow' ]
];
my $model = $solver->solve( $variables, $clauses );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking::Ordered is a pure Perl implementation of a simple SAT Backtracking solver, in this variant of L<Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking> we keep the order of the model updates and return a L<Hash::Ordered> as result.
Look at L<Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking> for a theory description.
Look also at the test file for an example of usage.
L<Algorithm::SAT::Expression> use this module to solve Boolean expressions.
=head1 METHODS
Inherits all the methods from L<Algorithm::SAT::Backtracking::DPLL> and override/implements the following:
=head2 SOLVE
$expr->solve();
in this case returns a L<Hash::Ordered>.
