Function Documentation

void PGASetMutationBoundedFlag(PGAContext *ctx, int val)

If this flag is set to true, then for Integer and Real strings whenever a gene is mutated, if it underflows (overflows) the lower (upper) bound it is reset to the lower (upper) bound.

Description

When this is enabled, all allele values remain within the range the integer strings were initialized on. If this flag is PGA_FALSE (the default), the alleles may take any values.

Example

PGAContext *ctx;

...
PGASetMutationBoundedFlag (ctx, PGA_TRUE);

Parameters:

ctx – context variable
val – flag to indicate if mutation is bounded

Returns:

None
