Detailed Description

The Gen class.

This class is used for representing one gen in the gen. alg. It has one ID which make it individual and an name (string) which group it with other gens to a gen pool. Also it has a IValue which is used to save the real value. An IValue can be a number, a matrix, a 3D Modell or something else.

Places for saving the gen inside the gen. alg. are the GenContext, the Individual and the GenEngine. Deleting only in the GenEngine!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gen	(	GenPrototype *	prototype,
		int	id
	)

constructor to create a gen.

Information which the class need are the prototype (name an group of gens) and the id, which the gen identified.

Parameters:

	prototype	(GenPrototype*) Pointer to the prototype.
	id	(int) ID of the gen

~Gen

(

void

)

[virtual]

destructor to delete a gen.

Returns:

(IValue*) The value

void setValue

(

IValue *

value

bool

onlyValue = true

)

const

[const] This function returns a string representation of this Gen.

Returns:

(string) The Gen in string - Form

Member Data Documentation

int m_ID [protected]

(int) The ID of the Gen.

The ID is individual. Every Gen has his own.

GenPrototype* m_prototype [protected]

(GenPrototyp*) The prototype of the Gen.

After creating unchangeable.

IValue* m_value [protected]

(IValue*) The value of the Gen.
