PGAGetRealFromBinary: Interpets a binary string as encoding a real value and returns the real value it represents.

INPUT PARAMETERS

ctx: - context variable
p: - string index
pop: - symbolic constant of the population the string is in
start: - starting bit position in the binary representation
end: - ending bit position in the binary representation
lower: - lower bound of the interval the real number is defined on
upper: - lower bound of the interval the real number is defined on

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

none

SYNOPSIS

#include "pgapack.h"

EXAMPLE

Example:
Decode a real value from the string p in population PGA_NEWPOP.  The
value to decode lies on the interval [-10,20] and is represented
using the 20 bits in bit positions 10--29.

double x;
:
x = PGAGetRealFromBinary(ctx, p, PGA_NEWPOP, 10, 29, -10.0, 20.0);
