Class BigIntegerGene

java.lang.Object

io.jenetics.ext.BigIntegerGene

All Implemented Interfaces:

BoundedGene<BigInteger,BigIntegerGene>, Gene<BigInteger,BigIntegerGene>, NumericGene<BigInteger,BigIntegerGene>, Factory<BigIntegerGene>, Mean<BigIntegerGene>, Verifiable, Serializable, Comparable<BigIntegerGene>

public final class BigIntegerGene
extends Object
implements NumericGene<BigInteger,BigIntegerGene>, Mean<BigIntegerGene>, Serializable

Numeric chromosome implementation which holds an arbitrary sized integer number.

This is a value-based class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality (==), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of IntegerGene may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.

of

public static BigIntegerGene of(BigInteger value,
                                BigInteger min,
                                BigInteger max)

Create a new random BigIntegerGene with the given value and the given range. If the value isn't within the interval [min, max], no exception is thrown. In this case the method BoundedGene.isValid() returns false.

Parameters:

value - the value of the gene.

min - the minimal valid value of this gene (inclusively).

max - the maximal valid value of this gene (inclusively).

Returns:

a new random BigIntegerGene

Throws:

NullPointerException - if one of the arguments is null

of

public static BigIntegerGene of(BigInteger min,
                                BigInteger max)

Create a new random BigIntegerGene. It is guaranteed that the value of the BigIntegerGene lies in the interval [min, max].

Parameters:

min - the minimal valid value of this gene (inclusively).

max - the maximal valid value of this gene (inclusively).

Returns:

a new random BigIntegerGene

Throws:

NullPointerException - if one of the arguments is null
