Trait rsgenetic::pheno::Phenotype

pub trait Phenotype<F>: Clone where
    F: Fitness, {
    fn fitness(&self) -> F;
    fn crossover(&self, _: &Self) -> Self;
    fn mutate(&self) -> Self;
}

Defines what a Phenotype is. A Phenotype can breed with other Phenotypes, resulting in a single child. A Phenotype can also be mutated. Finally, a Phenotype has a certain fitness value associated with it.

If reasonable, it is recommended to have your implementation derive Copy.

Required Methods

fn fitness(&self) -> F

Calculate the fitness of this Phenotype.

fn crossover(&self, _: &Self) -> Self

Perform crossover on this Phenotype, returning a new Phenotype.

fn mutate(&self) -> Self
