Method Detail

operate

public void operate(Selector selector,
                    Population oldPopulation,
                    Population newPopulation,
                    int howMany)

method that adds genotypes to the new population by extracting some from the old one and manipulating them in some way.

Specified by:

operate in interface GeneticOperator

Parameters:

oldPopulation - in parameter having all the original genotypes

newPopulation - in/out parameter where the next generation of genotypes is being built

howMany - how many new genotypes to add to the new population

setRange

public void setRange(int start,
                     int end)

Sets the range within which mutations will be performed. And end of -1 specifies till the end of the genotype.

toString
