This routine performs mutation on a string.
The type of mutation depends on the data type. Refer to the user guide for data-specific examples.
ctx
- context variable
p
- index of string to mutate
pop
- symbolic constant of the population containing p
none
#include "pgapack.h" int PGAMutate(ctx, p, pop) PGAContext *ctx int p int pop
mutation.c
Example:
Mutate the best string in the population, until 10 or more mutations
have occured.
PGAContext *ctx;
int p, count = 0;
:
p = PGAGetBestIndex(ctx, PGA_NEWPOP);
while (count < 10) {
count += PGAMutate(ctx, p, PGA_NEWPOP);
}
