Editor Features

Syntax highlighting, auto-completion and hover text are essential for most language extensions. These features boost productivity, enabling users to conduct more rapid research and development. The LINGO VS Code editor extension tailors these features specifically to the LINGO modeling language.

Auto Complete

The auto-complete feature includes each LINGO function, logical operator and section name. Additionally, every set name, along with all their attributes and variables, is covered. Lastly, the extension includes templates for each set looping function, complete with the set name and an iterator.

Hovering over set names will display a text box containing the set name and all of its attributes. Additionally, hovering over a set's attribute will show a text box with the attribute and the set to which it belongs.
