evolve 0.4.0

A generic, composable genetic algorithm framework for Rust
Documentation
/// All the context needed by genetic operators during execution.
///
/// Bundles references to the fitness evaluator, random number generator, and
/// fitness comparator so operators can evaluate new individuals, generate
/// random values, and compare fitness without owning these resources.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use evolve::core::context::Context;
/// use evolve::fitness::Maximize;
///
/// let fitness_fn = |g: &[u8; 2]| g[0] as u16 + g[1] as u16;
/// let mut rng = rand::rng();
/// # #[cfg(not(feature = "parallel"))]
/// let ctx = Context::new(&fitness_fn, &mut rng, &Maximize);
/// # #[cfg(feature = "parallel")]
/// # let runtime = pooled::Runtime::new(1);
/// # #[cfg(feature = "parallel")]
/// # let ctx = Context::new(&fitness_fn, &mut rng, &Maximize, &runtime);
/// ```
