Class GAStoppingCriteria.MaximumGeneration

java.lang.Object
  org.biojavax.ga.GAStoppingCriteria.MaximumGeneration

All Implemented Interfaces:

GAStoppingCriteria

Enclosing interface:

GAStoppingCriteria

public static class GAStoppingCriteria.MaximumGeneration
extends Object
implements GAStoppingCriteria

Simple Implementation of GAStoppingCriteria, signals a GeneticAlgorithm to stop after n generations

Useful for pausing and seeing what the state of the algorithm is at any particular time and possibly changing parameters etc before calling the run() method of the GeneticAlgorithm again.
