In Demo program(V12) of ETsp.cs, what is the meaning of "1" and "2" in the piecewise function in line 91 and 92:

double[] points = {1, data.dueDate[j]};
double[] slopes = {2, -data.earlinessCost[j],
data.tardinessCost[j]};

is this the number of points or number of slopes? I checked other examples, there is no such numbers for example in transport.cs.

In addition, I think the explanation of resources required for activity is misleading in manual P700, V12.

Why nobody answers my question, is it too simple? but I just feel very confused about ".net" document since they only give short explanation and it is difficult to follow. Thank you for your patience.

I am not sure yet but I think the numbers '1' and '2' you mention should not be there.
When you look at the same example for C++ (etsp.cpp) then you can see that in the C++ version they specify the number of breakpoints and slopes. However, in C# there is no need to explicitly specify this length. When you look at the description of the C++ example then it is pretty clear that the breakpoint array should have 1 element and the slopes array should have 2 elements.
I think this is a copy-and-paste error that was done when the C++ version of the example was extended to C# (and Java). You should just ignore (or even better remove) those two numbers.
Thank you for finding this bug!
