Interface NumericGene<N extends Number & Comparable<? super N>,G extends NumericGene<N,G>>

All Superinterfaces:
BoundedGene<N,G>, Comparable<G>, Factory<G>, Gene<N,G>, Self<G>, Verifiable
All Known Implementing Classes:
BigIntegerGene, DoubleGene, IntegerGene, LongGene
public interface NumericGene<N extends Number & Comparable<? super N>,G extends NumericGene<N,G>> extends BoundedGene<N,G>
Base interface for numeric genes.
Since:
1.6
Version:
3.0
See Also:
Implementation Requirements:
Jenetics requires that the individuals (Genotype and Phenotype) are not changed after they have been created. Therefore, all implementations of the NumericGene interface must also be immutable.
