=head1 NAME
Algorithm::Evolutionary::Fitness::Any - Façade for any function so that it can be used as fitness
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Algorithm::Evolutionary::Utils qw( string_decode )
sub squares {
my $chrom = shift;
my @values = string_decode( $chrom, 10, -1, 1 );
return $values[0] * $values[1];
}
my $any_eval = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Fitness::Any \&squares;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Turns any subroutine or closure into a fitness function. Useful mainly
if you want results cached; it's not really needed otherwise.
=head1 METHODS
=cut
use Carp;
our $VERSION = '3.2';
=head2 new( $function )
Assigns default variables
=cut
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = { _function => shift || croak "No functiona rray" };
bless $self, $class;
$self->initialize();
return $self;
}
=head2 apply( $individual )
Applies the instantiated problem to a chromosome. It is actually a
wrapper around C<_apply>.
=cut
sub apply {
my $self = shift;
my $individual = shift || croak "Nobody here!!!";
$self->{'_counter'}++;
return $self->_apply( $individual );
}
=head2 _apply( $individual )
This is the one that really does the stuff. It applies the defined
function to each individual. Itis cached for efficiency.
=cut
sub _apply {
my $self = shift;
my $individual = shift || croak "Nobody here!";
my $chrom = $individual->Chrom();
my $cache = $self->{'_cache'};
if ( $cache->{$chrom} ) {
return $cache->{$chrom};
}
my $result = $self->{'_function'}->($chrom);
if ( (scalar $chrom ) eq $chrom ) {
$cache->{$chrom} = $result;
}
return $result;
}
