=head1 NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Gene_Boundary_Crossover - n-point crossover
    operator that restricts crossing point to gene boundaries


=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #Create from XML description using EvoSpec
  my $xmlStr3=<

     #Max is 2, anyways

  EOC
  my $op3 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $xmlStr3 );
  print $op3->asXML(), "\n";

  #Apply to 2 Individuals of the String class
  my $indi = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::BitString 10;
  my $indi2 = $indi->clone();
  my $indi3 = $indi->clone();
  my $offspring = $op3->apply( $indi2, $indi3 ); #$indi2 == $offspring

  #Initialize using OO interface
  my $op4 = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Gene_Boundary_Crossover 3; #Gene_Boundary_Crossover with 3 crossover points

=head1 Base Class

L

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Crossover operator for a Individuals of type
L and
their descendants
(L). Crossover
for L
would be  L


=head1 METHODS

=cut

package Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Gene_Boundary_Crossover;

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

our $VERSION =   sprintf "%d.%03d", q$Revision: 3.2 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/g; # Hack for avoiding version mismatch

use Clone qw(clone);
use Carp;

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

#Class-wide constants

our $ARITY = 2;

=head2 new( [$options_hash] [, $operation_priority] )

Creates a new n-point crossover operator, with 2 as the default number
of points, that is, the default would be
    my $options_hash = { numPoints => 2 };
    my $priority = 1;

=cut

sub new {
  my $class = shift;
  my $num_points = shift || 2;
  my $gene_size = shift || croak "No default gene size";
  my $hash = { numPoints =>  $num_points, gene_size => $gene_size };
  my $rate = shift || 1;
  my $self = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base::new( __PACKAGE__, $rate, $hash );
  return $self;
}

=head2 create( [$num_points] )

Creates a new 1 or 2 point crossover operator. But this is just to have a non-empty chromosome
Defaults to 2 point

=cut

sub create {
  my $class = shift;
  my $self;
  $self->{_numPoints} = shift || 2;
  $self->{_gene_size} = shift || croak "No default for gene size\n";
  bless $self, $class;
  return $self;
}

=head2 apply( $chromsosome_1, $chromosome_2 )

Applies xover operator to a "Chromosome", a string, really. Can be
applied only to I with the C<_str> instance variable; but
it checks before application that both operands are of type
L.

=cut

      }
  }

  substr( $victim->{_str}, $pt1*$gene_size, $range*$gene_size )
      = substr( $victim2->{_str}, $pt1*$gene_size, $range*$gene_size );
  $victim->{'_fitness'} = undef;
  return $victim;
