[jgap-users] Getting started with JGAP

[Maeve D. <mae...@ho...>]

Hi All,

I have just downloaded, installed and started to use jgap and I have to say 
I am very impressed.  This tool is exaclty the sort of thing I am looking 
for to get a good idea of how genetic algorithms work and how they are 
implemented in Java.  I am currently working through the tutorial and I can 
run the Make Change program ok by typing:

java -classpath ".;jgap-examples.jar;jgap.jar" examples.MinimizingMakeChange 
89

I am happy with what is going on in the classes MinimizingMakeChanges and 
MinimizingMakeChangeFitnessFunction by reading through the tutorial but I 
would like to make some changes to these classes.

I would be very grateful if you could explain how I could make a change to 
the example e.g changing the MAX_ALLOWED_EVOLUTIONS to 100, and compile and 
run.

I would appreciate it very much if you could provide instructions in as much 
detail
as possible.

All help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Maeve
