Constructor Detail

AbstractListChromosome

public AbstractListChromosome(List<T> representation)

Constructor.

Parameters:

representation - inner representation of the chromosome

AbstractListChromosome

public AbstractListChromosome(T[] representation)

Constructor.

Parameters:

representation - inner representation of the chromosome

Method Detail

getLength

public int getLength()

Returns the length of the chromosome.

Returns:

the length of the chromosome

newFixedLengthChromosome

public abstract AbstractListChromosome<T> newFixedLengthChromosome(List<T> chromosomeRepresentation)

Creates a new instance of the same class as this is, with a given arrayRepresentation. This is needed in crossover and mutation operators, where we need a new instance of the same class, but with different array representation. Usually, this method just calls a constructor of the class.

Parameters:

chromosomeRepresentation - the inner array representation of the new chromosome.

Returns:

new instance extended from FixedLengthChromosome with the given arrayRepresentation

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
