In the previous section, we have defined FDVs with domains without considering domain representation. JaCoP default domain (cllaed IntervalDomain) is represented as an ordered list of intervals. Each interval is represented by a pair of integers denoting the minimal and the maximal value. This representation makes it possible to define all possible finite domains of integers but it is not always computationally efficient. For some problems other representations might be more computationally efficient. Therefore, JaCoP also offers domain that is restricted to represent only one interval with its minimal and maximal value. This domain is called BoundDomain and can be used by a finite domain variable in a same way as interval domain. The only difference is that any attempt to remove values from inside the interval of this domain will have no effect.
The following code creates variable v with bound domain 1..10.
