Detailed Description

The GenPrototype class.

This class is used for group some gens and is needed from the genFactory. It saves all GenContexte which are use this prototype. The group of gens becomes whit it an name.

The prototypes inside the gen. alg. are saved in the GenContext, in the Gen and in the GenEngine (only here can be deleted!!!).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GenPrototype	(	std::string	name,
		IRandomStrategy *	randomStrategy,
		IMutationStrategy *	mutationStrategy
	)

constructor to create a GenPrototype.

Information which the class need are the name of the gen pool group, a strategy how can a Gen of this group be created (for the IValue) and a strategy how can a Gen mutate.

Parameters:

	name	(string) Name of the group
	randomStrategy	(IRandomStrategy*) the strategy for creating a gen
	mutationStrategy	(IMutationStrategy*) the strategy for mutating a gen

~GenPrototype

Member Function Documentation

GenContext * getContext

(

Generation *

generation

)

This function gives the context which is relatedto the Eneration "generation" back.

Parameters:

generation

(Generation*) the related generation

Returns:

(GenContext*) the searched context

int getMutationProbability

(

void

)

const

[const] This function gives the mutation probability back (from the mutation strategy)

Returns:

(int) The mutation probability. Maybe the Typ int will be changed.

std::string getName

(

void

)

const [inline]

[inline], [const] This function gives the name of the prototype back.

Returns:

(string) the name

IValue* getRandomValue

(

void

)

const [inline]

[inline], [const] This function gives a random value (IValue) which are with the randomStrategy is generated back.

void insertContext	(	Generation *	generation,
		GenContext *	context
	)

This function insert a GenContext in the GenPrototype.

Parameters:

	generation	(Generation*) to which Generation is the Context related.
	context	(GenContext*) the context which should be insert

Gen * mutate	(	GenContext *	context,
		Individual *	individual,
		Gen *	oldGen,
		GenContext *	oldContext
	)			const

[const] This function mutate the given gen.

Parameters:

	context	(GenContext*) param is needed by the mutationStrategy
	individual	(Individual*) param is needed by the mutationStrategy
	oldGen	(Gen*) the gen which should be mutate
	oldContext	(GenContext*) param is needed by the mutationStrategy

Returns:

(Gen*) The new mutated gen

bool restoreGene	(	FILE *	f,
		RESTORE_GA_GENE *	gene
	)

restore gene and the value

Parameters:

	f	(FILE*) here is the value inside
	gene	(RESTORE_GA_GENE*) this gene is to restore

Returns:

(bool) true if all ok
