## Class RandomSwapMove<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.cpsolver.ifs.algorithms.neighbourhoods.RandomSwapMove<V,T>

- Type Parameters:
    `V` - Variable
    `T` - Value
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    HillClimberSelection, NeighbourSelection<V,T>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    RoomSwap, SuggestionMove, TimeSwap

      public class RandomSwapMove<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>
      extends Object
      implements NeighbourSelection<V,T>, HillClimberSelection

  Try to assign a variable with a new value. A variable is selected randomly, a different value is randomly selected for the variable -- the variable is assigned with the new value. If there is a conflict, it tries to resolve these conflicts by assigning conflicting variables to other values as well.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setHcMode

          public void setHcMode(boolean hcMode)

      Description copied from interface: `HillClimberSelection`
      True if employed by a hill climber, e.g., worsening moves may be skipped.
      Specified by:
        `setHcMode` in interface `HillClimberSelection`
      Parameters:
        `hcMode` - true if used by a hill climber (worsening moves are automatically discarded)

    - #### init

          public void init(Solver<V,T> solver)

      Description copied from interface: `NeighbourSelection`
      Criterion initialization
      Specified by:
        `init` in interface `NeighbourSelection<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>`
      Parameters:
        `solver` - current solver

    - #### selectNeighbour

          public Neighbour<V,T> selectNeighbour(Solution<V,T> solution)

      Description copied from interface: `NeighbourSelection`
      select a neighbour of a given solution
      Specified by:
        `selectNeighbour` in interface `NeighbourSelection<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>`
      Parameters:
        `solution` - given solution
      Returns:
        a neighbour assignment

    - #### isTimeLimitReached

          protected boolean isTimeLimitReached(long startTime)

      Return true if the time limit was reached, number of attempts are limited to 1 in such a case.
      Parameters:
        `startTime` - start time
      Returns:
        true if the given time limit was reached

    - #### resolve

          protected Double resolve(Solution<V,T> solution,
                                   double total,
                                   long startTime,
                                   Map<V,T> assignments,
                                   List<T> conflicts,
                                   int index)

      Try to resolve given conflicts. For each conflicting variable it tries to find a value with no conflict that is compatible with some other assignment of the other conflicting variables.
      Parameters:
        `solution` - current solution
        `total` - original value of the current solution
        `startTime` - starting time
        `assignments` - re-assignments to be made
        `conflicts` - list of conflicts to resolve
        `index` - index in the list of conflicts
      Returns:
        value of the modified solution, null if cannot be resolved
