Interface IGeneConstraintChecker

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CoinsEnergy.EnergyGeneConstraintChecker

public interface IGeneConstraintChecker
extends java.io.Serializable

Interface for checking whether a given allele value is valid to be set for a given gene instance. The contained validate()-method will be called in the setAllele(Object) method of Gene implementations.

Since:

2.0

Field Summary

static java.lang.String

CVS_REVISION String containing the CVS revision.

Method Summary

boolean

verify(Gene a_gene, java.lang.Object a_alleleValue, IChromosome a_chromosome, int a_geneIndex) Check if a given allele value is valid for the given gene instance.

Field Detail

CVS_REVISION

static final java.lang.String CVS_REVISION

String containing the CVS revision. Read out via reflection!

Method Detail

verify

boolean verify(Gene a_gene,
               java.lang.Object a_alleleValue,
               IChromosome a_chromosome,
               int a_geneIndex)

Check if a given allele value is valid for the given gene instance.

Parameters:

a_gene - the gene the given allele is to be validated for

a_alleleValue - the allele value to be validated

a_chromosome - the chromosome the gene is contained (or null, if unknown)

a_geneIndex - the index the gene is contained in the chromosome at, or -1 if unknown

Returns:

true: allele may be set for gene; false: validity check failed
