| ReadParent Call |
- call ReadParent ( selected, seg, n, destination ) ;
The ReadParent call reads selected solution elements into an array in a user crossover subroutine. 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.
