## Class StandardSelection

- java.lang.Object
- - org.cpsolver.studentsct.heuristics.selection.StandardSelection

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    NeighbourSelection<Request,Enrollment>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    CriticalStandardSelection

      public class StandardSelection
      extends Object
      implements NeighbourSelection<Request,Enrollment>

  Use the provided variable and value selection for some time. The provided variable and value selection is used for the number of iterations equal to the number of all variables in the problem. If a complete solution is found, the neighbour selection is stopped (it returns null).
  Parameters:

  Parameter | Type | Comment
  --- | --- | ---
  Neighbour.StandardIterations | `Long` | Number of iterations to perform. If -1, number of iterations is set to the number of unassigned variables.

        `valueSelection` - value selection

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### init

          public void init(Solver<Request,Enrollment> solver)

      Initialization
      Specified by:
        `init` in interface `NeighbourSelection<Request,Enrollment>`
      Parameters:
        `solver` - current solver

    - #### init

          protected void init(Solver<Request,Enrollment> solver,
                              String name)

    - #### canUnassign

          public boolean canUnassign(Enrollment enrollment,
