## Class MinimizeConflicts

- java.lang.Object
- - org.cpsolver.studentsct.online.expectations.MinimizeConflicts

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    OverExpectedCriterion, OverExpectedCriterion.HasContext

      public class MinimizeConflicts
      extends Object
      implements OverExpectedCriterion, OverExpectedCriterion.HasContext

  A class is considered over-expected when it is not available (limit is zero) or when there is a time conflict with some other enrollment of the student (despite the reservation allowing for the conflict).

      Description copied from interface: `OverExpectedCriterion`
      Expectation penalty, to be minimized
      Specified by:
        `getOverExpected` in interface `OverExpectedCriterion`

      Description copied from interface: `OverExpectedCriterion.HasContext`
      Expectation penalty, to be minimized. A variant of the `OverExpectedCriterion.getOverExpected(Assignment, Section, Request)` method that can be called from `Constraint.computeConflicts(Assignment, Value, Set)`.

        `selection` - selected enrollment question
        `value` - an enrollment to be assigned
        `conflicts` - enrollments that have been already identified as conflicting
      Returns:
        expectation penalty (typically 1.0 / number of subparts when over-expected, 0.0 otherwise)
