- Method Detail
  - decode
```
java.util.List<T> decode(java.util.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
