<p>Constraints differ from the common <a href="page.php?w=Language_primitive">primitives</a> of <a href="page.php?w=imperative_programming">imperative programming</a> languages in that they do not specify a step or sequence of steps to execute, but rather the properties of a solution to be found. In addition to constraints, users also need to specify a method to solve these constraints. This typically draws upon standard methods like chronological <a href="page.php?w=backtracking">backtracking</a> and <a href="page.php?w=constraint_propagation">constraint propagation</a>,</p><p>
