Detailed Description

Abstract interface for any genes that encode an integer value.

You can read about the creation of integer-valued genes and how they are inserted in the genomes from the specific subclass documentation. The values of the genes are read from the genome as follows:

double x = dynamic_cast<const AnyIntGene&> (*individual.getGene("myGene")).getvalue();

Because of technical limitations, the class is not actually abstract.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AnyIntGene (    )  [inline]
 

Default constructor, FORBIDDEN! Exists only because of RTTI system.

Definition at line 542 of file genes.h.

AnyIntGene (  const GeneticID &    id,
int    min,
int    max,
double    m = 1.0
) 
 

The subclass should call this constructor to set the name and some variables.

Parameters:
id  Name of the gene.
min  Lower limit for the floating-point value range.
max  Upper limit for the floating-point value range.
m  Mutation coefficient.

Definition at line 342 of file genes.cc.

References mMax, and mMin.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void check (    )  const [inline, virtual]
 

Standard check operator.

Implementation for Object.

Exceptions:
assertion_failed  check_failed

Reimplemented from Gene.

void copy (  const Genstruct &    other )  [virtual]
 

Standard copy operator.

Implementation for Genstruct.
