NAME

AI::Genetic::Individual - Package for AI::Genetic Individuals.

SYNOPSIS

See AI::Genetic.

DESCRIPTION

This class implements an AI::Genetic::Individual object. Those are used by the AI::Genetic (GA) module. They are the "organisms", if you will, that the GA module evolves. They are accessible via the get_fittest() method defined in the AI::Genetic class. Please consult AI::Genetic.

CLASS METHODS

The following are the public methods that can be used.

$ind->score()

This returns the current fitness score of the individual.

$ind->genes()

This returns the list of genes for the individual.

For LIST individuals (see "GENES" in AI::Genetic), it returns a list of the ON genes of the individual.

For LOL individuals (see "GENES" in AI::Genetic), it returns an anonymous hash. The keys of this hash are the the genes, and the values are the values of the genes. At this point, AI::Genetic passes the same reference that it is storing inside of it. So, if you modify this hash, it will affect the actual individual. Please be careful.
