Represents a state of the GA after an evolution step. It also represents the final state of an evolution process and can be created with an appropriate collector:

final Problem<ISeq<Point>, EnumGene<Point>, Double> tsm = ...; final EvolutionResult<EnumGene<Point>, Double> result = Engine.builder(tsm) .optimize(Optimize.MINIMUM).build() .stream() .limit(100) .collect(EvolutionResult.toBestEvolutionResult());
