Hi, I am working on a problem where I would like to compare two individuals according to one fitness function (if one beats the other then it is promoted to the next generation). However, it is possible that two individuals have the same fitness, so to differentiate them I call on a second fitness function. Something like this ind choice(ind ind1, ind ind2) { if(ind1.fitness == ind2.fitness)//if they are equal return choice2(ind1, ind2)//call on the second fitness function else if(ind1.fitness < ind2.fitness) return ind1 else return ind2 } ind choice2(ind ind1, ind ind2) { if(ind1.fitness2 < ind2.fitness2) //fitness2 is the fitness according to the second fitness function return ind1 else return ind2 } -- Thanks, John Woodward.
