=head1 NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::QuadXOver - N-point crossover operator that changes operands



=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $xmlStr3=<

     #Max is 2, anyways

  EOC
  my $ref3 = XMLin($xmlStr3);

  my $op3 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref3 );
  print $op3->asXML(), "\n";

  my $indi = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::BitString 10;
  my $indi2 = $indi->clone();
  my $indi3 = $indi->clone(); #Operands are modified, so better to clone them
  $op3->apply( $indi2, $indi3 );

  my $op4 = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::QuadXOver 1; #QuadXOver with 1 crossover points

=head1 Base Class

L

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Crossover operator for a GA, takes args by reference and issues two
children from two parents

=head1 METHODS

=cut

package Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::QuadXOver;

use lib qw( ../../.. );

our $VERSION =   sprintf "%d.1%02d", q$Revision: 3.4 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/g; # Hack for avoiding version mismatch

use Carp;

use base 'Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Crossover';

#Class-wide constants
our $APPLIESTO =  'Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::String';
our $ARITY = 2;

=head2 apply( $parent_1, $parent_2 )

Same as L, but changes
parents, does not return anything; that is, $parent_1 and $parent_2
interchange genetic material.
