Pool#

The workers that SkillLayer.Slots may put on tasks, each a project resource with its skills. Create one with an object initializer and pass it to SkillLayer.Slots together with the requirements. Part of the Plen.Assign package.

Declaration#

namespace Plen.Assign;

public sealed class Pool : IDeepCloneable<Pool>, IEquatable<Pool>

Constructors#

Pool()#

public Pool()

Creates an empty pool. Set Workers in an object initializer.

Properties#

Property Type Default Description
Workers List<Worker> empty The workers, in preference order. A worker earlier in the list wins a tie between equally scored candidates.

Each worker must name a resource of the project, and a resource can appear only once. SkillLayer.Slots checks this and throws InputException with a pool.workers[i]… path; see Errors.

Methods#

DeepClone#

public Pool DeepClone()

Returns a deep copy. The Workers list and every Worker in it are copied, so nothing is shared with the original.

Equals#

public bool Equals(Pool? other)
public override bool Equals(object? obj)

Two pools are equal when Workers holds equal workers in the same order.

GetHashCode() follows the same rule.

ToString#

public override string ToString()

Returns a readable rendering of the workers, for logging.

Example#

Three workers. ann comes first, so she's preferred over bob when both fit a slot equally well.

using Plen;
using Plen.Assign;

var pool = new Pool
{
    Workers =
    [
        new Worker { Resource = "ann", Skills = [new Skill { Id = "backend", Value = 3 }] },
        new Worker { Resource = "bob", Skills = [new Skill { Id = "backend", Value = 2 }, new Skill { Id = "frontend" }] },
        new Worker { Resource = "cid", Skills = [new Skill { Id = "frontend" }] },
    ],
};

Console.WriteLine(pool.Workers.Count); // 3
