Similar to the computer program of the preceding paper, the following computer program seeks to solve an integer version of Schittkowski's Problem 283 [11, p. 107]; only integer solutions are of interest in the present paper. Thus, in the present paper the problem is to minimize the following:
10
[SIGMA i^3*(X(i)-1) ^2 ]^3
i=1
subject to -20<= X(i)<=20, X(i) integer, i=1, 2, 3,..., 10. See Schittkowski [11, p. 107].
One notes line 112, line 203, and line 204, which are 112 A(J44)=-20+FIX( RND*41), 203 IF X(J44)<-20 THEN X(J44)=A(J44), and 204 IF X(J44)>20 THEN X(J44)=A(J44), respectively.

This BASIC computer program was run via basica/D of Microsoft's GW-BASIC 3.11 interpreter for DOS. See [8]. The complete output through JJJJ=-31998 is copied by hand from the screen and shown below. Immediately below there is no rounding by hand.

On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM, and the IBM basica/D interpreter, version GW BASIC 3.11, the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ=-31998 was 8 seconds.
