"""
- This class implements linear expressions.
+ A linear expression consists of a list of coefficient-variable pairs
+ that capture the linear terms, plus a constant term. Linear expressions
+ are used to build constraints. They are temporary objects that typically
+ have short lifespans.
+
+ Linear expressions are generally built using overloaded operators. For
+ example, if x is a Symbol, then x + 1 is an instance of LinExpr.
+
+ LinExpr instances are hashable, and should be treated as immutable.

+ Return a linear expression from a dictionary or a sequence, that maps

+
+ For example, the linear expression x + 2y + 1 can be constructed using
+ one of the following instructions:
+
+ >>> x, y = symbols('x y')
+ >>> LinExpr({x: 1, y: 2}, 1)
+ >>> LinExpr([(x, 1), (y, 2)], 1)
+

+ >>> x, y = symbols('x y')

+
+ Alternatively, linear expressions can be constructed from a string:
+
+ >>> LinExpr('x + 2*y + 1')
+
+ A linear expression with a single symbol of coefficient 1 and no
