  • Method Details

    • decode

      List<T> decode(List<T> sequence)
      Permutes the sequence of objects of type T according to the permutation this chromosome represents. For example, if this chromosome represents a permutation (3,0,1,2), and the unpermuted sequence is (a,b,c,d), this yields (d,a,b,c).
      Parameters:
      sequence - the unpermuted (original) sequence of objects
      Returns:
      permutation of sequence represented by this permutation
