A generic, composable genetic algorithm framework for Rust
Documentation
//! Random value generation for genomes and genes.
//!
//! Defines the [`Randomizable`] trait, which allows types to be created from
//! a random number generator. Used by initializers and mutation operators.

/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use evolve::random::Randomizable;
///
/// let mut rng = rand::rng();
/// let value: u32 = Randomizable::random(&mut rng);
/// let array: [u8; 4] = Randomizable::random(&mut rng);
