Instead of setting a specific target value for a variable, the goal is to find the optimum value for one or more target variables, given certain constraints. Then one or more other variables are changed repeatedly, subject to the specified constraints, until you discover the best values for the target variables. Examples Suppose a family wanted to take out the biggest loan that they could afford to pay for. If they set aside 500 dollars a month, the goal seeking program would try to work out how big a loan the family could afford to take out. Even using simple trial and improvement, a computer could quickly determine that they could not afford 50,000 loan, but could afford a 48,000 loan. It would then become repeat the process until it had reached a figure such as 48,476.34, which would give them a monthly repayment as close to, but not exceeding, 500, as possible. A more efficient method, especially on more complicated calculations, would be for the program to logically work through the argument. By drawing up a simple equation, the program could come to the conclusion that the output equalled one ninety sixth of the input, and could then multiply the output or goal by ninety six to find the necessary input.

Unreferenced date March 2007 Rack rent denotes two different concepts an excessive or extortionate Renting rent , or the full rent of a property , including both land and improvements if it were subject to an immediate open market rental review The second definition is equivalent to the economic rent of the land plus interest on Capital economics capital improvements plus depreciation and Maintenance, repair and operations maintenance the normal market rent of a property and is not inherently excessive or extortionate. Also, this may be different from the rent actually being received. Historically, however, rack rent has often been a term of protest used to denote an unjustly excessive rent the word rack evoking the medieval torture device , usually one paid by a tenant farmer . The two conceptions of rack rent both apply when excessive, extortionate rent is obtained by threat of eviction resulting in uncompensated dispossession of improvements the tenant himself has made. I.e., by charging rack rent, the landowner unjustly uses his power over the land to effectively confiscate wages, in addition to merely charging the tenant interest and depreciation on the capital improvements which the landlord himself has made to the land. When there is no accessible rent free land, any improvements in the condition of society, be they in the form of civilizational progress or local improvement, are recaptured in the form of higher land values, and the leftover wages after rent is paid will tend towards subsistence, as described by David Ricardo s Law of Rent . Such rents can be described as rack rent, and this sense of the term is economically meaningful, and distinct from other forms of rent.
