Remarks

An objective specifies what value should be minimized or maximized when solving the model. Objectives are created by calling Model.Minimize or Model.Maximize, or by using the fluent methods IntExpr.Minimize or IntExpr.Maximize.

A model can have at most one objective.

var model = new Model();
var x = model.IntervalVar(length: 10, name: "x");
var y = model.IntervalVar(length: 20, name: "y");

// Create objective using Model.Minimize() - automatically registered:
model.Minimize(y.End());

// Or using fluent style on expressions - automatically registered:
y.End().Minimize();
