Whats wrong with this prolog optimization solution

问题:

solve(Amounts) :-
    Total = 1505,
    Prices = [215, 275, 335, 355, 420, 580],

    length(Prices, N),
    length(Amounts, N),
    Amounts :: 0..Total//min(Prices),
    Amounts * Prices #= Total,

    labeling(Amounts).

回答1:

There is nothing wrong with it. It is the example from http://eclipseclp.org/examples/xkcd287.ecl.txt, and if you hadn't omitted the line

:- lib(ic).

which loads the interval constraint solver, it would work just fine in ECLiPSe Prolog.

Does also work in SWI-Prolog:

?- use_module(library(clpfd)).
?- [user].
solve(Amounts) :-
    Total = 1505,
    Prices = [215,275,335,355,420,580],
    length(Prices, N),
    length(Amounts, N),
    min_list(Prices, MinPrice),
    MaxAmount is Total//MinPrice,
    Amounts ins 0..MaxAmount,
    scalar_product(Prices, Amounts, #=, Total),
    label(Amounts).
^D
?- solve(X).
X = [1, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1] ;
X = [7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].

But I guess its not an optimization search problem,
the objective function is missing.
