      • computePrice

        double computePrice​(int min,
                    int max,
                    int available,
                    int saturation,
                    int productionRate,
                    IPopulationStructure pop,
                    ECityState state)
        Compute the price for one item of the ware. Though the price is only handled in further computation as integer value, this method returns its value as double so this condition can be tested:
        The higher the available amount (but still below the saturation value) the smaller (strictly) the returned value.
        For different starting values:
        If the starting value b is below starting point a the whole curve of b is below (not necessary strictly) the curve of a. The curve is continues between 0 (inclusive) and infinity.
        Parameters:
        min - the lowest possible price (0 exclusive)
        max - the highest possible price
        available - amount of wares that are available in the market
        saturation - amount of items at which the market is saturated (no further price change
        productionRate - amount the city can produce within a week
        pop - population structure that may have an influence on the calculated price
        state - state of the city
        Returns:
        price for one item sold
