how can I specify the linear programming I have created to be maximizing or minimizing programming with lpsolve

Question

I am learning to use lpsolve in python to solve the linear programming, I followed the website, and it worked well. But I could not find where to set the max/min attribute in LP problem, it has tortured me for some days.

Answer 1

taking a quick look, it seem to me you need to use set_maxim and set_minim, as in here. from python code it would be:

lpsolve('set_maxim', lp)

or

lpsolve('set_minim', lp)
