NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::QuadXOver - N-point crossover operator that changes operands

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
my $xmlStr3=<<EOC;
<op name='QuadXOver' type='binary' rate='1'>
  <param name='numPoints' value='2' /> #Max is 2, anyways
</op>
EOC
my $ref3 = XMLin($xmlStr3);
my $op3 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref3 );
print $op3->asXML(), "\n";
my $indi = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::BitString 10;
my $indi2 = $indi->clone();
my $indi3 = $indi->clone(); #Operands are modified, so better to clone them
$op3->apply( $indi2, $indi3 );
my $op4 = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::QuadXOver 1; #QuadXOver with 1 crossover points
            
          

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Crossover operator for a GA, takes args by reference and issues two children from two parents

METHODS

apply( $parent_1, $parent_2 )

Same as Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Crossover, but changes parents, does not return anything; that is, $parent_1 and $parent_2 interchange genetic material.
