get_column

Get all column elements from the matrix.

int get_column(lprec *lp, int columnnr, REAL *column);

Return Value

get_column returns TRUE (1) if the operation was successful. A return value of FALSE (0) indicates an error.
An error occurs when columnnr is not between 1 and the number of columns in the lp.

Parameters

Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, copy_lp, read_lp, read_lp_file, read_LP, read_mps, read_MPS

columnnr

Column number of the matrix. Must be between 1 and number of columns in the lp.

column

Array in which the values are returned. The array must be dimensioned with at least 1 plus number of rows elements in the lp.

Remarks

This function retrieves all values for the given column.
Element 0 of the column array will contain the value of the objective function, element 1 will contain the value for column 1, Element 2 the value for column 2, ...

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lpkit.h"

int main(void)
{
  lprec *lp;
  REAL column[1+2]; /* must be 1 greater than number of rows ! */

  /* Create a new LP model */
  lp = make_lp(2, 1);
  if(lp == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create new LP model\n");
    return(1);
  }

  get_column(lp, 1, column);

  delete_lp(lp);
  return(0);
}
