Constraint Programming

Constraint Programming is a method used to solve problems by defining rules, or constraints, that the solutions must satisfy. Think of it like setting conditions for a puzzle—such as scheduling tasks without overlaps or solving a Sudoku. The system explores different options, ensuring they meet all constraints, and finds solutions that fit all the rules. It’s commonly used in areas like scheduling, resource allocation, and planning, allowing complex problems to be solved efficiently by systematically narrowing down possible solutions based on the constraints.
