Hi,
I am very new to Python and have a very simple question. I want to create
a 'chromosome' class for a genetic algorithm program. Essentially I just
want a class that contains a list of n bits. That part seemed easy: here is
what I tried:
==============================================================================
import random
class Chromosome:
data = []
def __init__(self, length):
for bit in range(length):
self.data.append(random.randrange(0,2,1))
def display(self):
print self.data
population = []
for i in range(100):
x = Chromosome(20)
population.append(x)
population[50].display()
===================================================================
I want to define a population of 100 chromosomes. But instead of a list of
Chromosome objects I seem to get one big (100 x 20) list of 0s and 1s.
Clearly I've misunderstood something fundamental here. Any help would be
appreciated.
