C Attribute Examples

Consider the case where you have a Gurobi model . You can retrieve the number of variables in the model by querying the NumVars model attribute. This is an integer-valued, scalar attribute, so you use GRBgetintattr:

  int cols;
  error = GRBgetintattr(m, GRB_INT_ATTR_NUMVARS, &cols);

You can also use the name of the attribute directly:

  int cols;
  error = GRBgetintattr(m, "NumVars", &cols);

(Note that attribute capitalization doesn't matter in the C interface, so you could also use "numVars" or "numvars").

If you've performed optimization on the model, the optimal objective value can be obtained by querying the ObjVal model attribute. This is a double-valued, scalar attribute, so you use GRBgetdblattr:

  double objval;
  error = GRBgetdblattr(m, GRB_DBL_ATTR_OBJVAL, &objval);

If you'd like to query the value that a variable takes in the computed solution, you can query the X variable attribute. This is a double-valued, vector attribute, so you have a few options for querying the associated values. You can retrieve the value for a single variable using GRBgetdblattrelement:

  double x0;
  error = GRBgetdblattrelement(m, GRB_DBL_ATTR_X, 0, &x0);

(we query the solution value for variable 0 in this example). You can also query attribute values for multiple variables using GRBgetdblattrarray or GRBgetdblattrlist:

  double x[];
  error = GRBgetdblattrarray(m, GRB_DBL_ATTR_X, 0, cols, x);

The former routine retrieves a contiguous set of values ( values, starting from index in our example). The latter allows you to provide a list of indices, and it returns the values for the corresponding entries.

For each attribute query routine, there's an analogous routine. To set the upper bound of a variable, for example, you would use GRBsetdblattrelement:

  error = GRBsetdblattrelement(m, GRB_DBL_ATTR_UB, 0, 0.0);

(In this example, we've set the upper bound for variable 0 to 0). You can set attribute values for multiple variables in a single call using GRBsetdblattrarray or GRBsetdblattrlist.
