Hi,
I am new to java and genetic programming and trying to write a GA for xor gate using functions and,or,not.
I am getting an error :-
Incorrect number of children for node ! at pop.subpop.0.species.ind, was expecting 1 but got 2.

i would be thankful for any help.

the definitions of some functions and regression class are as follows-

NOT.java-
public class Not extends GPNode 
{
public String toString() { return "!"; }

    public int expectedChildren() { return 1; }
    
    public void eval(final EvolutionState state,final int thread, final GPData input,final ADFStack stack,
            final GPIndividual individual, final Problem problem)
            {
    boolean result;
    //Boolean_Data rd = ((Boolean_Data)(input));
   
    Boolean_Data rd = ((Boolean_Data)(input));
    children[0].eval(state,thread,input,stack,individual,problem);
    result  = !rd.x;
   
       
            }
}

And.Java

public class And extends GPNode 
{
public String toString() { return "&&"; }

    public int expectedChildren() { return 2; }
    
    public void checkConstraints(final EvolutionState state,final int tree,
            final GPIndividual typicalIndividual,
            final Parameter individualBase)
    {
    super.checkConstraints(state,tree,typicalIndividual,individualBase);
    if (children.length!=2)
    state.output.error("Incorrect number of children for node " + 
    toStringForError() + " at " +
    individualBase);
    }
    
    public void eval(final EvolutionState state,final int thread,
            final GPData input,final ADFStack stack,
            final GPIndividual individual, final Problem problem)
            {
    boolean result;
   
    Boolean_Data rd = ((Boolean_Data)(input));
    children[0].eval(state,thread,input,stack,individual,problem);
    result  = rd.x;
   
    children[1].eval(state,thread,input,stack,individual,problem);
       rd.x=result && rd.x;
   
       
            }
}
