# #::(?Vars, ?Range, ?Bool)

Reified range constraint combined with integrality constraint

Vars
  Variable or integer, or a list of variables or integers
Range
  Variable or Lo..Hi, where Lo and Hi are variables or integer expressions
Bool
  Variable, 0 or 1

## Description

Reified version of #::/2, i.e. the truth value of the range constraint is reflected in the value of the 0/1 variable Bool.

This constraint suspends until its first two arguments are ground. It then unifies Bool according to the truth value of the corresponding #::/2 constraint.

Note: as opposed to #::/2, the first argument cannot be a list.

### Modules

This predicate is sensitive to its module context (tool predicate, see @/2).

### Exceptions

(5) type error
  Range contains non-integers.

## Examples

        ?- #::(X, 1 .. 5, B), X = 3.
        B = 1
        X = 3
        Yes (0.00s cpu)

        % range violated
        ?- #::(X, 1 .. 5, B), X = 6.
        B = 0
        X = 6
        Yes (0.00s cpu)

        % integrality violated
        ?- #::(X, 1 .. 5, B), X = 3.0.
        B = 0
        X = 3.0
        Yes (0.00s cpu)
