The Early Check

State

A constraint is tested the moment all its variables have values, so a doomed branch dies at the shallowest point the constraints allow.

Show

Assign a teacher two rooms in the first two choices and the violation fires immediately — no need to finish the timetable.

Watch for

Early checking prunes branches, not possibilities — the doomed subtree must still be entered to be caught.
