First, you must install ortools package in this colab.

python
%pip install ortools

Simple diet problem in Google CP Solver.

Standard Operations Research example in Minizinc

Minimize the cost for the products: Type of Calories Chocolate Sugar Fat Food (ounces) (ounces) (ounces) Chocolate Cake (1 slice) 400 3 2 2 Chocolate ice cream (1 scoop) 200 2 2 4 Cola (1 bottle) 150 0 4 1 Pineapple cheesecake (1 piece) 500 0 4 5

Compare with the following models:

This model was created by Hakan Kjellerstrand ([email protected]) Also see my other Google CP Solver models: http://www.hakank.org/google_or_tools/

python

  # nutritions for each product
  calories = [400, 200, 150, 500]
  chocolate = [3, 2, 0, 0]
  sugar = [2, 2, 4, 4]
  fat = [2, 4, 1, 5]

  #
  # declare variables

  x = [model.NewIntVar(0, 100, "x%d" % i) for i in range(n)]
  cost = model.NewIntVar(0, 10000, "cost")
