11 | The COIN Linear Program code or CLP is an open-source simplex solver written |
---|
12 | in C++. It is primarily meant to be used as a callable library, but a |
---|
13 | basic, stand-alone <link linkend="clpexe">executable</link> version is also |
---|
14 | available. |

17 | There are a number of resources available to help new CLP users get started. |
---|
18 | This document is designed to be used in conjunction with the files in the |
---|
19 | Samples subdirectory of the main CLP directory (<filename>COIN/Clp/Samples</filename>). |
---|
20 | The Samples illustrate how to use CLP and may also serve as useful starting points |
---|
21 | for user projects. In the rare event that either this document or the available |
---|
22 | <link linkend="doxygen">Doxygen content</link> conflicts with the observed |
---|
23 | behavior of the source code, the comments in the header files, found in |
---|
24 | <filename>COIN/Clp/include</filename>, are the ultimate reference. |

32 | CLP is written in C++, so it is expected that users of CLP will be writing |
---|
33 | C++ programs which use CLP as a library. Thus a working knowledge of |
---|
34 | <ulink url="http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/">C++</ulink>, including basic |
---|
35 | object-oriented programming terminology is assumed in this document. In |
---|
36 | addition, the user should be familiar with the fundamental concepts of |
---|

---|
