public class SupergeneSample
extends AbstractSupergeneTest

To test the Supergene, we created the "make change" version with additional condition: the number of nickels and pennies must be both even or both odd. The supergene encloses two genes (nickels and pennies) and is valid if the condition above is satisfied.

Since:

2.0

Method Detail

makeChangeForAmount

public int makeChangeForAmount(int a_targetChangeAmount)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Executes the genetic algorithm to determine the minimum number of coins necessary to make up the given target amount of change. The solution will then be written to System.out.

Specified by:

makeChangeForAmount in class AbstractSupergeneTest

Parameters:

a_targetChangeAmount - the target amount of change for which this method is attempting to produce the minimum number of coins

Returns:

absolute difference between the required and computed change amount

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
