Genetic Algorithms Applied w/ Perl
The code in Listing 1 uses a single byte as DNA (value between 0 and 255, 8 bits). The fitness formula is applied once to every new individual, taking the byte value of the DNA and dividing it by 256. This means that the fitness formula will always return a number between 0 and 255/256, so it can never reach 1. What do you think the fittest DNA will be?…
