C# Class AForge.Genetic.BinaryChromosome

Binary chromosome, which supports length from 2 till 64.

The binary chromosome is the simplest type of chromosomes, which is represented by a set of bits. Maximum number of bits comprising the chromosome is 64.

Public Methods

Method	Description
BinaryChromosome ( int length ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the BinaryChromosome class.
Clone ( ) : IChromosome	Clone the chromosome. The method clones the chromosome returning the exact copy of it.
CreateNew ( ) : IChromosome	Create new random chromosome with same parameters (factory method). The method creates new chromosome of the same type, but randomly initialized. The method is useful as factory method for those classes, which work with chromosome's interface, but not with particular chromosome type.
Crossover ( IChromosome pair ) : void	Crossover operator. The method performs crossover between two chromosomes – interchanging range of bits between these chromosomes.
Generate ( ) : void	Generate random chromosome value. Regenerates chromosome's value using random number generator.
Mutate ( ) : void	Mutation operator. The method performs chromosome's mutation, changing randomly one of its bits.
ToString ( ) : string	Get string representation of the chromosome.

Protected Methods

Method	Description
BinaryChromosome ( BinaryChromosome source ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the BinaryChromosome class. This is a copy constructor, which creates the exact copy of specified chromosome.

Method Details

BinaryChromosome() protected method

Initializes a new instance of the BinaryChromosome class.

This is a copy constructor, which creates the exact copy of specified chromosome.

protected BinaryChromosome ( BinaryChromosome source ) : System
source	BinaryChromosome	Source chromosome to copy.
return	System

BinaryChromosome() public method

Initializes a new instance of the BinaryChromosome class.

public BinaryChromosome ( int length ) : System
length	int	Chromosome's length in bits, [2, ].
return	System

Clone() public method

Clone the chromosome.

The method clones the chromosome returning the exact copy of it.

public Clone ( ) : IChromosome
return	IChromosome

CreateNew() public method

Create new random chromosome with same parameters (factory method).

The method creates new chromosome of the same type, but randomly initialized. The method is useful as factory method for those classes, which work with chromosome's interface, but not with particular chromosome type.

public CreateNew ( ) : IChromosome
return	IChromosome

Crossover() public method

Crossover operator.

The method performs crossover between two chromosomes – interchanging range of bits between these chromosomes.

public Crossover ( IChromosome pair ) : void
pair	IChromosome	Pair chromosome to crossover with.
return	void

Generate() public method

Generate random chromosome value.

Regenerates chromosome's value using random number generator.

public Generate ( ) : void
return	void
