column_in_lp

# column_in_lp Check if a column is already present in the lp. int column_in_lp(lprec *lp, REAL *column); Return Value column_in_lp returns the (first) column number if the column is already in the lp and 0 if not. Parameters lp Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, copy_lp, read_lp, read_LP, read_mps, read_freemps, read_MPS, read_freeMPS, read_XLI column An array with 1+get_Nrows elements that are checked against the existing columns in the lp. Remarks The column_in_lp functions checks if a column is already present in the lp. It does not look at bounds and types, only at matrix values. The first matched column is returned. If there is no column match, then 0 is returned. Note that element 0 is the objective function value. Element 1 is column 1, and so on. Example
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include "lp_lib.h"

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

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

      column[0] = 0.0;
      column[1] = 0.0;
      column[2] = 0.0;
      ret = column_in_lp(lp, column); /* Will return 1 */

      delete_lp(lp);
      return(0);
    }
