| The GA Procedure |
ReadParent Call
reads selected solution elements into an array in a user crossover subroutine
- call ReadParent( selected, seg, n, destination );
The inputs to the ReadParent subroutine are as follows:
| selected | is a parameter passed to the user subroutine by the GA procedure, which points to the selected solution family. |
| seg | is the segment of the desired parent solution to be obtained. |
| n | is the number of the parent, starting at 1. |
| destination | is an array in which to store the solution elements. |
The ReadParent subroutine is called inside a user crossover operator subroutine to obtain the elements of selected parent solutions. Normally you would then manipulate and combine the elements of the two parents and use a WriteChild call to create the child offspring and complete the action of the crossover operator.
