Example: mipex2.c

The example derives from lpex2.c, an LP explained in the manual Getting Started with ILOG CPLEX. That LP example differs from this MIP example in these ways:

Like other applications based on the ILOG CPLEX Callable Library, this one calls CPXopenCPLEX() to initialize the ILOG CPLEX environment; it sets the screen-indicator parameter to direct output to the screen and calls CPXcreateprob() to create a problem object. Before it ends, it calls CPXfreeprob() to free the space allocated to the problem object and CPXcloseCPLEX() to free the environment.
