Description

Description

The current str() implementation can be improved:

  • objective value should not be initialized to zero. Instead should be None and a placeholder text should be shown
  • same for constraint values
  • same with Lagrange multipliers
  • optProb variable values are wrong after optimization
    • also check that the initial values are correct
  • should have a description of what status is expected to show

Research direction

Start by locating the str() implementations for the optimization and solution objects, then inspect how optProb initializes and updates variable values and how status is represented. Done means unset objective, constraint, and Lagrange multiplier values use None with placeholder text, optProb values are correct before and after optimization, and status has a clear description.
