CP focuses on feasibility, constraints, and variables rather than optimization. It's used in employee scheduling, where numerous constraints, such as shifts and days off, reduce the number of viable schedules. Tools like the CP-SAT solver and the original CP solver are available, and CP is applied to scheduling and planning problems, along with classic puzzles like N-queens and cryptarithmetic.\n"]]
