1. When complex object structures are created in Quaestor, the knowledge engineer might require the posibility to force the computation of parameters in order to manage the evaluation order. By adding the ADDGOALS function around an value, expression, TeLiTab or Object, in combination with the forced goals (SubGoal), the value, expression, TeLiTab or Object is still received as result but after the other goals are carried out.
   
   
2. In method 2, Object(..) means that in the object itself additional TopGoals etc. can be defined. See also the documentation on the use of objects in Quaestor.

Examples

A=ADDGOALS(B,C)

 When A is  is asked as top goal, both C and  and B are  are added to the goal list of Quaestor. Thus both both C and  and B should  should be determined.

In the Workbase this is shown by the fact that (for the example) for both B and C values both B and C values are request to the user while they do not depent on each other. When the following values are given:

B=5

C=7

Parameter A will  will have 5 as a result (being determined by B). Moreover, both B and  and C are  are part of the solution.
