public final class IntegerGene
extends Object

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.

Since:

2.0

Version:

6.1

Implementation Note:

This class is immutable and thread-safe.
