Class EvolveCode

java.lang.Object
  codesimian.CS<CSGeneric>
      codesimian.DefaultCS
          codesimian.EvolveCode

All Implemented Interfaces:

CodeSimian, java.util.Comparator

public class EvolveCode
extends DefaultCS
implements java.util.Comparator

Evolves code to maximize an arbitrary measure of the evolved code (fitness function). Code is measured by param1, which is used like a FUZZY-TYPE, the type you want to evolve toward. someEvolveCode.P(1).P(0) is set to the newly evolved code, and someEvolveCode.P(1) returns that code's SCORE.

Param0 is a list of (the root CSs of) evolving codes, and should be approximately sorted higher SCORE at higher index.

If there is a someEvolveCode.P(2), it is the number of new codes to evolve. Each is a combination of 2 existing codes. If there is no someEvolveCode.P(2), uses someEvolveCode.P(0).countP() instead.

Example codesimian code:
evolveCode( list(roots of evolved codes) measuresCode(putCodetoMeasureHere) evolveQuantity )

In general, if you delete the lower indexs and evolve from the higher, code should improve. The FUZZY-TYPE in param1 should not modify its param0, only judge it as a number score.

EvolveCode implements Comparator, which compares one CS to an other, using param1 to compare them.

Method Summary

int	compare(java.lang.Object a, java.lang.Object b)
double	DForProxy() Execute this CS and cast to double.
java.lang.String	keyword() For the CodeSimian language as a String. CodeSimian language keyword, like "+" "*" "max" ">" etc. Override this function if you want to specify a keyword other than how I derive them from the class name, like + for Add. Some CSs might never be intended to be used in the language by their keyword. The best example (4/05) is Num, because it is used in the language like "3.4" instead of "num()".
int	maxP() Maximum quantity of Params
int	minP() For DForProxy(). Minimum number of parameters in param[] needed to call DForProxy(). Defines which indexs of param[] DForProxy() can use. Functions with a different number of parameters must override this. OVERRIDE THIS FUNCTION IF EXEC USES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PARAMETERS. Default is 1.

Method Detail

DForProxy

public double DForProxy()

Description copied from class: CS

Execute this CS and cast to double.

D() and DForProxy() are the 2 most important functions in CS. They execute this CS. All other execute functions, by default, return DForProxy cast to their own type.

For example, J() calls the proxy which calls JForProxy() which calls DForProxy(). D() calls the proxy which calls DForProxy().

By default, all other primitive EXECUTE functions defer to D.
Functions that EXECUTE this CS: L(Class) L(int,Class,int) Z() B() C() S() I() J() F() D() V()

Specified by:

DForProxy in class DefaultCS

compare

public int compare(java.lang.Object a,
                   java.lang.Object b)

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator

keyword

public java.lang.String keyword()

Description copied from class: DefaultCS

For the CodeSimian language as a String.
CodeSimian language keyword, like "+" "*" "max" ">" etc.

Override this function if you want to specify a keyword other than how I derive them from the class name, like + for Add.

Some CSs might never be intended to be used in the language by their keyword.
The best example (4/05) is Num, because it is used in the language like "3.4" instead of "num()".
Default: Returns class name, minus package name (and its dots), and change the first letter to lowercase.

For example, CS.MaxParams does not override keyword(), which returns "maxP".

Overrides:

keyword in class DefaultCS

See Also:

CS.parent(), CS.newInstance(), CS.name()

minP

public int minP()

Description copied from class: DefaultCS

For DForProxy().
Minimum number of parameters in param[] needed to call DForProxy().
Defines which indexs of param[] DForProxy() can use.
Functions with a different number of parameters must override this.
OVERRIDE THIS FUNCTION IF EXEC USES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PARAMETERS.
Default is 1.

Overrides:

minP in class DefaultCS

maxP

public int maxP()

Description copied from class: CS

Maximum quantity of Params

Overrides:

maxP in class CS
