Method Detail

genotype2Phenotype

boolean genotype2Phenotype()

Maps from a input(genotype) to an output (phenotype)

Returns:

Boolean denoting a successful (True) or failed (false) mapping.

phenotype2Genotype

boolean phenotype2Genotype()

Not yet implemented!

Returns:

Boolean denoting a successful (True) or failed (false) mapping.

clear

void clear()

Clears the mapper by dereferencing the genotype and phenotype. After this operation a mapper should be able to perform another mapping. The mapper may also need to reinitialse its internal state: eg clear derivation tree clear string buffers if they are used.

getPhenotype

java.lang.Object getPhenotype()

Returns the mappers output (phenotype)

Returns:

output of the mapping

getGenotype

java.lang.Object getGenotype()

Returns the mappers input (genotype)

Returns:

input of the mapper

setPhenotype

void setPhenotype(java.lang.Object p)

Sets the output(phenotype)

Parameters:

p - output to set

setGenotype

void setGenotype(java.lang.Object g)

Sets the input (genotype)

Parameters:

g - input to set
