Examples

Example:
In C:
void main(int argc, char **argv) {
PGAContext *ctx;
:
ctx = PGACreate(&argc, argv, PGA_DATATYPE_BINARY, 100, PGA_MAXIMIZE);
:
//  Set options here
:
PGASetUp(ctx);
:
//  Run the GA here
:
PGADestroy(ctx);
}
In FORTRAN:
integer ctx
:
ctx = PGACreate(PGA_DATATYPE_BINARY, 100, PGA_MAXIMIZE)
:
c       Set options here
:
call PGASetUp(ctx)
:
c       Run the GA here
:
call PGADestroy(ctx)
stop
end
