Package org.opt4j.genotype

Class CompositeGenotype<K,V extends Genotype>

java.lang.Object
org.opt4j.genotype.CompositeGenotype<K,V>
Type Parameters:
K - the type of key for the mapping
V - the type of Genotype
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<Map.Entry<K,V>>, Genotype
public class CompositeGenotype<K,V extends Genotype> extends Object implements Genotype, Iterable<Map.Entry<K,V>>

The CompositeGenotype is a base class for Genotype classes that consist of multiple Genotypes. The method size() returns the sum of the sizes of the contained Genotypes.

A specific CompositeGenotype has to add each contained Genotype by calling the method put(Object, Genotype) where Object is an arbitrary identifier.

Example: 

        SpecificGenotype extends CompositeGenotype<Integer, Genotype> {
                public void setDoubleVector(DoubleGenotype genotype){
                        put(0, genotype);
        }
                public DoubleGenotype getDoubleVector(){ 
                        return get(0);
        }
 
                public void setBinaryVector(BooleanGenotype genotype){
                        put(1, genotype);
                }
                public BooleanGenotype getDoubleVector(){
                        return get(1); 
                }
 }
