Public Methods

Method Description
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 genes (array elements) 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 genes (array elements).

ShortArrayChromosome ( int length ) : System

Initializes a new instance of the ShortArrayChromosome class.

This constructor initializes chromosome setting genes' maximum value to maximum posible value of type.

ShortArrayChromosome ( int length, int maxValue ) : System

Initializes a new instance of the ShortArrayChromosome class.

ToString ( ) : string

Get string representation of the chromosome.

Method Description
ShortArrayChromosome ( ShortArrayChromosome source ) : System
