#include <Instance.h>

boolean setInstanceMode(INSTANCE_MODE arg);
boolean setInstanceState(INSTANCE_STATE arg);
boolean setScore(float score);

quick start:


Instance* curr_instance;
Instance* next_instance;

next_instance = new Instance(*curr_instance);
next_instance->setBackPointer(curr_instance);

description:

The instance constitutes the primary structure that represents a path in the search space. The instance contains the search symbols corresponding to the path, the time at which the path was generated, the history of the path, and the likelihood score of the path.

dependencies:
