Genetic Algorithm
Genetic Algorithm
A search heuristic that is inspired by Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. It reflects the process of natural selection where the fittest individuals are selected for reproduction in order to produce offspring of the next generation.
5 Steps of Genetic Algorithms
5 Steps of Genetic Algorithms
- Initialization: Create an initial population of solutions.
- Fitness Evaluation: Assess the fitness of each solution.
- Selection: Choose the best solutions (parents).
- Crossover: Combine parents to create offspring.
- Mutation: Introduce random changes in offspring.
Fitness of bitstring x1 = 10111001
Fitness of bitstring x1 = 10111001
The fitness is 1 because there is only one instance where both adjacent bits are 1’s (positions 2 and 3).
Fitness of bitstring x2 = 01110011
Fitness of bitstring x2 = 01110011

Study Notes
- Genetic algorithms consist of 5 steps.
- A fitness function assesses the quality of a solution.
- The fitness function provided is: fitness(bitstring) = number of 0’s in the bitstring where both adjacent bits are 1’s.
- For the bitstring x1 = 10111001, the fitness is 1 (only one "0" is surrounded by "1"s).
- For the bitstring x2 = 01110011, the fitness is 2.
- A bitstring with all 1s would have the highest fitness because every 0 would be surrounded by 1s.
- Crossover combines the genetic material of two parents to create new offspring.
- Mutation helps maintain diversity in the population and prevents premature convergence.
- Python has several built-in data types including:
- Lists
- Tuples
- Dictionaries
- Sets
- Lists are ordered, mutable sequences, defined with square brackets [].
- Tuples are ordered, immutable sequences, defined with parentheses ().
- Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs, defined with curly braces {}.
- Sets are unordered collections of unique elements, defined with curly braces {} or the set() function.
