Class BreakPoint<T extends Chromosome>

java.lang.Object

jenes.stage.AbstractStage<T>

jenes.stage.BreakPoint<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The class chromosomes flowing across the stage.

public class BreakPoint<T extends Chromosome>
extends AbstractStage<T>

Stage representing a break point. It notifies its listeners when its process(Population, Population) method is invocated. The population isn't alterated so the output population is equals to the input one.

Since:

1.0

Version:

1.2

Method Detail

add

public void add(BreakPoint.Listener listener)

Adds the specified listener at this break point stage

Parameters:

listener - the listener to notify when the break point process time occurs.

remove

public void remove(BreakPoint.Listener listener)

Removes the specified listener between the ones

Parameters:

listener - the listener to remove

process

public void process(Population<T> in,
           Population<T> out)
             throws StageException

Description copied from class: AbstractStage

Processes the input population and tranforms it into the output population. Note: - Out population is made of recicled individuals. There is a need of new individuals to add only when there is a need to increase the population size. For pre-initalized individual just use setAs method. This is done for an efficient memory management. - A stage can modify the input population. So input passed to process method can be mutated when the process method ends.

Specified by:

process in class AbstractStage<T extends Chromosome>

Parameters:

in - the input population

out - the output population

Throws:

StageException
