Public Member Functions
virtual bool	initialize (StateP state)=0
	Initialize a genotype object (read parameters, perform sanity check, build data).
virtual Genotype *	copy ()=0
	Create an identical copy of the genotype object.
virtual std::vector< CrossoverOpP >	getCrossoverOp ()
	Create and return a vector of crossover operators.
virtual std::vector< MutationOpP >	getMutationOp ()
	Create and return a vector of mutation operators.
virtual void	registerParameters (StateP)
	Register genotype's parameters (called before Genotype::initialize).
bool	registerParameter (StateP state, std::string name, voidP value, enum ECF::type T, std::string description="")
	Register a single parameter.
voidP	getParameterValue (StateP state, std::string name)

uint	getGenotypeId ()
	Return this genotype's index in individual structure.
void	setGenotypeId (uint id)
	Set genotype index in an individual.
std::string	toString ()
	Output genotype to string.
Protected Attributes

	genotype's name
uint	genotypeId_
	this genotype's unique index in individual structure

Detailed Description

Genotype base class.

All Genotypes must inherit this one. Each individual contains a vector of Genotype objects. Each Genotype is an independent object with independent parameters.

Each Genotype class must provide its CrossoverOp and MutationOp operator classes!

Genotype usage

A Genotype instance is _active_ if it is used in the individual structure. Active genotypes may be of any number and kind; each active Genotype instance gets an index, e.g.:

Binary (id: 0) Binary (id: 1) Bitstring (id: 2) Tree (id: 3)

A genotype instance becomes active if:

it is stated in <Genotype> block of configuration file;
it is added with State::setGenotype function.
