Detailed Description

A real number within a range.

While many genetic algorithms use integers to approximate continuous parameters, the choice limits the resolution with which an optimum can be located. Floating point not only uses computer resources efficiently, it also makes input and output transparent for the user. Parameters can be input, manipulated and output as ordinary floating-point numbers without ever being reformatted as genes with a different binary representation.

Member Function Documentation

instance()

value_t ultra::de::real::instance ( ) const

inlinenodiscardfinalvirtual

Produce the runtime value of the terminal.

Returns

the value associated with this terminal

This function returns the value represented by the terminal when the program is evaluated. The returned value may depend on the evaluation context (e.g. the current input vector), but does not depend on any child expressions.

Note

Implementations must not throw exceptions and should be side-effect free to preserve referential transparency during program evaluation.

Implements ultra::terminal.
