# numConstraints

Indicates the number of constraints property values defined for a particular [ConstraintNode](https://schema.org.ai/ConstraintNode) such as [StatisticalVariable](https://schema.org.ai/StatisticalVariable). This helps applications understand if they have access to a sufficiently complete description of a [StatisticalVariable](https://schema.org.ai/StatisticalVariable) or other construct that is defined using properties on template-style nodes.

## Expected Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [Integer](https://schema.org.ai/Integer) | Data type: Integer. |

## Used on Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [ConstraintNode](https://schema.org.ai/ConstraintNode) | The ConstraintNode type is provided to support usecases in which a node in a structured data graph is described with properties which appear to describe a single entity, but are being used in a situation where they serve a more abstract purpose. A [ConstraintNode](https://schema.org.ai/ConstraintNode) can be described using [constraintProperty](https://schema.org.ai/constraintProperty) and [numConstraints](https://schema.org.ai/numConstraints). These constraint properties can serve a variety of purposes, and their values may sometimes be understood to indicate sets of possible values rather than single, exact and specific values. |
