Detailed Description

This class represents an Individual, i.e., an entity representing a candidate solution.

Basically, an Individual holds a particular set of bins, where each bin is a collection of items.

const [inline]

Returns the individual's fitness.

References m_fitness.

Referenced by GeneticAlgorithm::Evaluate(), GeneticAlgorithm::Fitness(), and operator==().

void Individual::Fitness

(

Params::Size_t

f

)

[inline]

Sets the individual's fitness.

bool Individual::operator==

(

const Individual &

i

)

const [inline]

Compare two individuals.

First the fitness is compared; if they are equal, then compare their genomes.
