GAMS Variable Types.

This class holds the possible GAMS variable types similar to an enumeration class. Note that it is not an enumeration class due to compatibility (e.g. for Octave).

◆ int2str()

static function int2str ( in  value_int)
static

Converts a variable type identifier to string.

  • s = VariableType.int2str(i) returns a string with the variable type name for the given variable type identifier i. If i is an invalid identifier, this function raises an error.

Example:

s = VariableType.int2str(VariableType.BINARY)

s equals "binary"

◆ isValid()

static function isValid ( in  value)
static

Checks if a variable type name or identifier is valid.

  • b = VariableType.isValid(s) returns true if s is a valid variable type name or variable type identifier and false otherwise.

Example:

VariableType.isValid('binary') % is true
VariableType.isValid(VariableType.BINARY) % is true
VariableType.isValid('not_a_valid_name') % is false

◆ str2int()

static function str2int ( in  value_str)
static

Converts a variable type name to an identifier.

  • i = VariableType.str2int(s) returns an integer identifier for the given variable type name s. If s is an invalid type name, this function raises an error.

Example:

i = VariableType.str2int('binary')

i equals VariableType.BINARY
