For a list of all members of this type, see Population Members.

Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

Since the Population only works with Individuals before they are compiled, it acts as a collection of IndividualInfos rather than IIndividuals. (The Tester is responsible for working with Individuals in their compiled state.)

Design Note

In this framework, the Population plays a slightly more active role than a collection of Individuals. The Population is also responsible for generating the source code file for the Individuals in the Population.

Requirements

Namespace: GeneticProgrammingEngine.Internal

Assembly: GeneticProgrammingEngine (in GeneticProgrammingEngine.dll)
