    char a = PGAGetCharacterAllele (ctx, p, PGA_OLDPOP, i);
    PGASetCharacterAllele (ctx, q, PGA_NEWPOP, i, a);
}

Parameters:

• ctx – context variable

• p – string index

• pop – symbolic constant of the population the string is in

• i – allele index

• val – character value to set the allele to
