The psuedo-code you have listed above is the basic principle of a genetic algorithm (GA) but to really go down the GA route you need to initially constuct MANY random solutions as follows...
- Define a way of encoding your solutions into a data set e.g. Binary, hex, tree...
- Create 20 random candidate solutions using your encoding.
- Measure how well each of these work (the 'fitness')
- Mutate the populations at random.
- Crossover different candidate solutions. (many different methods can be applied here to choose which to cross)
- Measure the new fitness of the new 20 candidate colutions.
- Is this fitness satisfactory? If not go back to step 4 (or stop if you are on the Nth itteration)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
