What You Learned

Genetic Algorithms in Elixir — by Sean Moriarity (26 / 101)

👈 Solving the One-Max Problem Again | TOC | Chapter 3 Encoding Problems and Solutions 👉

In this chapter, you started to create a framework for writing genetic algorithms. You designed the framework by defining criteria that’s consistent and different between problems. You defined rules that your framework must enforce to ensure it can be generalized to a number of problems.

You then took the basic framework you created and re-solved the One-Max problem. Notice that the framework did most of the legwork for you. With the framework defined, you can focus on solving more difficult problems using genetic algorithms.

Up next, you’ll explore the problem-specific aspects of genetic algorithms and learn how to fit problems into the framework you created in this chapter.
