Function PGAEncodeRealAsBinary

Function Documentation

void PGAEncodeRealAsBinary(PGAContext *ctx, int p, int pop, int start, int end, double low, double high, double val)

Encode a real value as a binary string.

Example

Encode 3.14 from the interval \([0,10]\) in 30 bits in bit positions 0–29 in string p in population PGA_NEWPOP.

PGAContext *ctx;
int p;

...
PGAEncodeRealAsBinary (ctx, p, PGA_NEWPOP, 0, 29, 0.0, 10.0, 3.14);

Parameters:

  • ctx – context variable

  • p – string index

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

  • start – starting bit position in p to encode val in

  • end – ending bit position in p to encode val in

  • low – lower bound of the interval the val is defined on

  • high – upper bound of the interval the val is defined on

  • val – the real number to be represented as a binary string

Returns:

The string is modified by side-effect
