Package org.opt4j.genotype

Class CompositeGenotype<K,​V extends Genotype>

  • 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); 
                }
 }
