Method Detail

selectFromPopulation

public Population selectFromPopulation(Population pop)

Chooses the Cells in the specified Population with maturity in a given range. There is no limit to the number of members returned; it is possible that no cells are returned (when none meet the range requirements) or that all the cells are returned (when they all meet the requirements).

Specified by:

selectFromPopulation in interface SelectionAlgorithm

Parameters:
