Class IntegerChromosome

java.lang.Object

jenes.chromosome.IntegerChromosome

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

public final class IntegerChromosome
extends java.lang.Object
implements Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

An IntegerChromosome is made of an array of integers. Each value (i.e. allele) is within the range [lowerBound,upperBound]. Both bounds are included. These bounds are specified ad the instantiation time. IntegerChromosome is a fixed length chromosome. Thus the numebr of genes is specified at the instantiation time and cannot be modified after.

Constructor Detail

IntegerChromosome

public IntegerChromosome(IntegerChromosome chromosome)

Creates a new IntegerIndividual with the specified chromosome

Parameters:

IntegerChromosome

public IntegerChromosome(int length,
                 int lowerBound,
                 int upperBound)

Creates a new IntegerIndividual with each allele in the range [lowerBound, upperBound]

Parameters:

length - the chromosome length

lowerBound - the allele lower bound

upperBound - the allele upper bound

Method Detail

getLowerBound

public final int getLowerBound()

Returns the lower bound value for a gene of this chromosome

Returns:

the alleles lower bound

getUpperBound

public final int getUpperBound()

Returns the upper bound value for a gene of this chromosome

Returns:

the alleles upper bound

setDefaultValueAt

public final void setDefaultValueAt(int pos)

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Sets the default value at a given position

Specified by:

setDefaultValueAt in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

Parameters:

pos - the position where to set the default value

clone

public final IntegerChromosome clone()

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Performs a chromosome deep-cloning.

Specified by:

clone in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a chromosome clone.

randomize

public final void randomize()

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Fills the chromosome with random value.

Specified by:

randomize in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

swap

public final void swap(int pos1,
        int pos2)

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Exchanges two genes at the specified positions

Specified by:

swap in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

Parameters:

pos1 - the position of first gene

pos2 - the position of second gene

randomize

public final void randomize(int pos)

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Sets a random value in the specified position

Specified by:

randomize in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

Parameters:

pos - a position where to set the random value

leftShift

public final void leftShift(int from,
             int to)

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Makes a left-shift of the genes between two positions. The shift is circular, so the most left-side gene becomes the last gene on right.

Specified by:

leftShift in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

Parameters:

from - the start position to be shifted

to - the final position to be shifted

rightShift

public final void rightShift(int from,
              int to)

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Makes a right-shift of the genes between two positions. The shift is circular, so the most right-side gene becomes the first gene on left.

Specified by:

rightShift in interface Chromosome<IntegerChromosome>

Parameters:

from - the start position to be shifted

to - the final position to be shifted

length

public final int length()

Description copied from interface: Chromosome

Returns the number of genes contained in the chromosome.

Specified by:

Makes the chromosome a copy of another chromosome.

Specified by:
