Examples

C#Python

var criteria = new[] { new OptimizationCriterion(OptimizationCriterionType.NetProfit, OptimizationCriterionDirection.Maximize) };
var settings = new OptimizationSettings(new DateTime(2025, 1, 1), new DateTime(2025, 3, 1), 10000, criteria) { Cores = Environment.ProcessorCount / 2 };
Print("Optimization cores: {0}", settings.Cores);

from System import DateTime, Environment
criteria = [OptimizationCriterion(OptimizationCriterionType.NetProfit, OptimizationCriterionDirection.Maximize)]
settings = OptimizationSettings(DateTime(2025, 1, 1), DateTime(2025, 3, 1), 10000, criteria)
settings.Cores = int(Environment.ProcessorCount / 2)
