Understanding evolutionary and genetic algorithms

A genetic algorithm is a type of evolutionary algorithm. So, in order to understand genetic algorithms, we need to discuss evolutionary algorithms. An evolutionary algorithm is a meta heuristic optimization algorithm that applies the principles of evolution to solve problems. The concept of evolution is similar to the one we find in nature. We directly use the problem's functions and variables to arrive at the solution. But in a genetic algorithm, any given problem is encoded in bit patterns that are manipulated by the algorithm.

The underlying idea in all evolutionary algorithms is that we take a population of individuals and apply the natural selection process. We start with a set of randomly selected individuals and then identify the strongest among them. The strength of each individual is determined using a fitness function that's predefined. In a way, we use the survival of the fittest approach.

We then take these selected individuals...
