Class Breeder

java.lang.Object
  ec.Breeder
      ec.simple.SimpleBreeder
          ec.cgp.Breeder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ec.Setup, ec.Singleton, java.io.Serializable

public class Breeder
extends ec.simple.SimpleBreeder

The CGP implementation requires this slightly modified SimpleBreeder. Its sole purpose is to reset string representations of the expressions represented by all genomes in the population. Resetting forces re-computation of each expression during evaluation of CGP nodes, but only for the first such evaluation.
